A hardworking duck is rescued from life with a lazy old farmer in this classic tale of justice. Farmer Duck isn't your average duck. This duck cooks and cleans, tends the fields, and cares for the other animals on the farm—all because the owner of the farm is too lazy to do these things himself. But when Farmer Duck finally collapses from exhaustion, the farmyard animals come to the rescue with a simple but heroic plan.

Brilliant watercolor and pastel paintings in the style of 18th-century Japanese woodcuts illuminate this engaging retelling of a popular Japanese folktale. Coveting a mandarin duck for his magnificent plumage, a greedy lord captures and cages him for all to admire. But the wild creature pines for his mate. When Yasuko, the kitchen maid, releases the bird against the lord1s command, she and the one-eyed servant, Shozo, are sentenced to death. How the grateful drake and his mate return the loving couple1s kindness and outsmart the capricious lord makes for a wondrous outcome. Illustrators Leo and Diane Dillon, winners of numerous awards, including the Caldecott Medal, studied ukiyo-e, a type of Japanese art. A wise and beautiful book. Reinforced binding.

A touching and timely story about a biracial girl who is excited to spend time with her American grandmother and her Japanese grandmother. Nanami has two grandmothers: Bāchan, who lives with Nanami's family in Japan, and Gram, who lives in Maine. When Gram visits Japan, Bāchan takes her and Nanami on a trip to the seaside to gather wakame, a long, curvy seaweed that grows near the shore. While the three assemble their equipment and walk to the beach, Bāchan explains how wakame and other seaweeds are used in Japan. Gram shares stories about how seaweeds are used in Maine, and Nanami translates for them both. By the end of the day, Nanami's two grandmothers discover that they have much in common despite being from countries that fought in World War II, which they both remember. Looking out across the beach at surfers, dog walkers, and seaweed gatherers, they share an appreciation of this precious peace. Holly Thompson's beautiful prose captures the exuberance of a young girl who easily traverses two cultures and languages. It also illuminates the love and understanding that grows between two older women who are so different, yet share an unbreakable bond. Kazumi Wilds's vivid paintings make the Japanese landscape and the rocky shores of Maine come alive, reminding us all that we share this earth and the peace that we create.
