Lily and the Wooden Bowl

Long ago in Japan, a dying old woman decided to protect her granddaughter Lily by hiding her beauty from the world. So she placed a large lacquered bowl on Lily's head, and made her promise never to remove it. Yoriko Ito's elegant paintings use traditional Japanese motifs to highlight the adaptation of this inspiring folktale of the rewards of kindness and beauty. Full color. Age5-9. P ub: 10/94.
