Description/Notes
This beautifully illustrated book tells the story of a strange, shy, small boy who is isolated by his differences from the other children in the school. The setting is a Japanese village school, but the situation is repeated in schools everywhere. Just how Chibi, or Tiny Boy, as he was known, earned his bolder name of Crow Boy, and his place in his class is a poignant story, told in pictures and brief text. A Caldecott Honor Book. 'A shy mountain boy in Japan leaves his home at dawn and returns at sunset to go to the village school. Pictures and text of moving and harmonious simplicity'.--Saturday Review. Caldecott Honor Book.
