New Releases by Kimiko Kajikawa

Ojiisan, the oldest and wealthiest man in the village, doesn''t join the others at the rice ceremony. Instead he watches from his balcony. He feels something is coming; something he can''t describe. When he sees the monster wave pulling away from the beach, he knows. Tsunami! But the villagers below can''t see the danger. Will Ojiisan risk everything he has to save them? Can he? Illustrated in stunning collage by Caldecott winner Ed Young, here is the unforgettable story of how one man''s simple sacrifice saved hundreds of lives. An extraordinary celebration of both the power of nature and the power each of us holds within.

Parents and their young have unique ways of bonding, especially in the animal kingdom. A baby kangaroo nestles in its mother''s pouch, while a mama alligator carries her baby gently in her mouth. Polar bears cuddle, and penguin parents take turns warming their chicks in the Antarctic winter. Just like people, animals kiss, rub noses, and snuggle. Through endearing pictures and a lyrical text, Kimiko Kajikawa explores the parent-child bonds of animals large and small.

Yoshi et Sabu sont voisins. Yoshi aime les anguilles, surtout celles que prépare Sabu, mais jamais il ne veut débourser un sou pour en acheter. Il se contente de humer leur délicieuse odeur en fabriquant des éventails. Un jour, Sabu se fâche... alors Yoshi doit faire preuve de ruse...
