*In the Meadow* by Yukiko Kato, illustrated by Komako Sakai
In the Meadow
by Yukiko Kato, illustrated by Komako Sakai
Ages 3-6 32 pages Enchanted Lion Books May 2011 Hardcover    

Little Yu-chan observes the world around her, delighting in the river’s lilting song that goes “susurrus, susurrus,” in the fluttering butterflies that lead her through plants that smell “like toothpaste”, and In the Meadow that surrounds her as if she were immersed in a soothing green ocean.

This gentle book from Japan captures a young child’s wonder about the natural world in a sweet, pitch-perfect manner. Nature scenes ranging from the oceans to the meadows, realistically rendered in acrylic and oil paints, are perfectly matched to this tender nature book. Recommended for children ages 3-6.
