The Lost Kitten

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Komako Sakai. Hina is reluctant to adopt a sickly stray kitten. But when it seems the kitten has gotten outside, Hina remembers once being lost herself; empathizing with "how the kitten must feel," she vows to find and befriend it. Impressionistic illustrations in a pastel palette portray Hina's anxiety honestly and support the happy ending with vignettes expressing her growing devotion to her pet.
