A little girl asks her mother to tell her a story, and her mother replies that she prefers to tell her about the seed so that the little girl can nurture it and make it grow. Thus begins this delicate book of haiku, which pays homage to 24 unforgettable tales—traditional stories like Cinderella, Snow White, and The Three Little Pigs, and timeless tales like Peter Pan—using this poetic form, as concise as it is evocative for readers. This picture book is a gem for the originality of its approach (haikus that tell traditional stories), the power of the traditional narratives, and the prestige of its author. And, oh, surprise!, in each illustration appear the little girl, her mother, and, crouching, their cat, inviting young readers to search for it behind the curtains and tablecloths.
