“…a simple and poignant story. Told in a clear, clean prose, the story is about Kato who goes to fetch water and do chores, but also finds something special to give the aid worker that gives out new shoes.

The ground and dirt look like real ground or dirt, the trees look like they have been scratched in to plaster. The painted faces of children are precious. I’ll use this with Storytime preschoolers up to second or third grade.”
