We are never disappointed with the Nobi Nobi editions!, It is almost an absolute rule and it will check again. This album tells a traditional Japanese tale, that of a forest spirit hidden in a poor sparrow. The bird finds refuge with a humble fisherman who adopts but not his wife who is homeless heart. It will try to kill the bird. The fisherman will find him in his human form and the bird gives him a treasure. The woman also try, with bad intention to recover a treasure but will be punished. Still, she will prove his redemption and all will end well. The story explores a wide range of human feelings. The illustrations are just sublime, delicate and colorful. A beautiful story and a great pleasure for the eyes, from 8 years.
