Once again Allen Say tells a story that weaves the past and present together—a connection between America and Japan. In this charming story little Erika is fascinated by an old block print her grandfather brought from Japan when he was a young man. The image of a distinctive looking house in the moonlight stays in her memory. When Erika has graduated from college she journeys to Japan where she not only finds work as a teacher, but romance and of course—the house in the old print. Romantic and may be of more interest to adults. As always the art is glorious!
