Puddles

by Miyako Moriyama

illus. by Mariko Matsunari

Taku finds a puddle in his playground, and suddenly remembers a little girl he saw on TV, who had lost all her family in a tsunami. This beautifully illustrated book tackles the sometimes bewildering subject of loss with insight, and shows how children can touched by the lives of other, have empathy, and begin to grow emotionally.
