Recommended in The Wall Street Journal's 2012 Gift Guide "Here Ms. Sakai again displays her gift for depicting inner truths in the outer appearance of very small children. In the cupping of small hands, the confiding turn of a face, Ms. Sakai captures without a bit of saccharine the transportation of a boy into the realm of his own imagination." -- Meghan Cox Gurdon, The Wall Street Journal
