Mr Tanuhara’s Everywhere Library
by Masumi Hayashi
Mr Tanuhara is a librarian—and a tanuki (a Japanese raccoon dog)—who becomes a library wherever he goes. Answering animals’ requests, he transforms himself with a simple magical trick, taking the shape needed to travel across fields, beneath the water, and up into the clouds. Wherever he appears, books and stories bring everyone together. With lively, colourful illustrations and a rhythmic, playful text, this picture book celebrates the joy of reading and the wonder of libraries that welcome all, everywhere.
