The Invisible Seam

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jun Matsuoka. Michi does her best sewing for Mistress Shinyo; this excellent work elevates her over more senior apprentices, who retaliate by attempting to sabotage her most prestigious project. Michi's skill prevails and everyone's talents are eventually recognized. Illustrated by soft watercolors whose proportions are occasionally skewed, this story is gracefully told; a short list of translated Japanese words concludes the book.
