A boy helps an injured crane, that then returns in human form to weave silk and save the boy and his father from poverty. Adapted from Japanese folktales and told in alternating prose and haiku.

This was a great telling of this Japanese myth, and of a friendship that develops. I loved this story, and the exciting retelling.
What a great way to share this story, and the illustrations really pulled the story together. Masterfully done!
