Moni Ritchie Hadley
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." THE STAR FESTIVAL Making the 'under five' list!
