Four days of daffodil moon

Japan Library Association Selected Books

In a snowstorm that tells the coming of spring, Snow Doji finds a child dying. The child was a child who picked up the branches of the spears that Yukido threw. Thanks to Snow Child, who tries to help her friends realize, the child can safely welcome the morning.

Kenji Miyazawa's masterpiece with fear and gratitude for the great nature!
A world drawn with soft and delicate touch pencil drawings. The coldness and beauty of winter are "blue" and "white", and the "red" of the child that shines there is reminiscent of the power of life.
