Little Kiku has a real problem! This is a story that has a message for every age. My children love it as much as I do. The artwork touches the soul of the reader and the beautiful paper makes this a masterpiece to save. The art and printing makes the reader want to touch and hold it and read it again. — Elaine Dox
This engaging story shares an important lesson beautifully, through the eyes of a child and powerful shogun. Every detail from the paper selected to the words and illustrations are impeccable. — Dana S., Los Angeles
Kiku is engaging--a read aloud, conversation starter and gentle guide for any child or adult who wants to become a better person. Through kindness and determination, Kiku and her mama carefully mend a treasured vase to create a more beautiful one. We can all apply this quiet wisdom to our own broken relationships. As an educator, I highly recommend reading this book many, many times to and with children of all ages. — Gwen B., Chicago
The beautifully illustrated book is full of charm and wisdom, two stories in one that join together to become something else, just like the art and meaning that is the essence of Kintsugi. — Linda
