Kirkus Review --- "This is a charming story of a father and child focused on a multigenerational cultural tradition, with a lesson of patience folded in.
Hadley balances storytelling with some science and culinary details. The beautiful full-color illustrations evoke warmth, transporting readers into the Japanese mountainside misogura ...
A sweet combination of tradition, family, and culinary arts."
Honorary Mention for the Freeman Book Award by the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia
