Review **Creative Child Magazine 2024 Book of the Year - Bilingual Story Books for Kids**"Sekis lively and bright illustrations pay homage to Hokusai and his daughters paintings and hide little surprises, such as Mt. Fuji tucked away in the background or the washi-like textures of the pages. Much of the abundant background detail in Sekis artwork takes on new meaning after reading the back matter. Highly recommended for elementary-schoolers fascinated by Japan." —Booklist Starred Review"A beautifully illustrated and bilingual picture book story that celebrates the power of grit and artistic expression, as it introduces young readers to a trailblazing figure who, like her famous father, left a lasting impression in the world of art.
