Synopsis
A classic Japanese tale of generosity rewarded
On January first, everyone in Japan celebrates a birthday, no matter when they were born. A great feast is made, but this year Sachiko and Kenji's mother can't afford special soups and tasty fish for the traditional New Year's meal. The children have an idea: they will sell their crafts in town to earn money for the feast. They are unsuccessful at the market, but a chance visit to the Shrine of the Seven Gods of Luck and a thoughtful gift lead to a welcome New Year's surprise as the magic and generosity of the season end up providing for all.
This year, may the Seven Gods of Luck visit you!
"A lively adaptation of a Japanese folktale.... The well-paced, carefully plotted text has a sprightly partner in its stylized, gently colored illustrations." - School Library Journal
"A sweetly illustrated retelling" - The New York Times
