A Left Leg Polka
by Orie Tejima
illus. by Kyoko Kurabe
When the boy to whom he is attached takes a fatal tumble, left leg is determined not to die. So he snaps clean off and sets out on an adventure that takes him from working as a (wonderful) artificial leg all the way to an arctic expedition and beyond. Left leg is quite aware what he lacks but never lets it hold him back; a unique, fantastical and ultimately inspiring tale.
