Totto-chan: The Little Girl at the Window by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, Chihiro Iwasaki
5.0

I have loved this book and it's illustration ever since my dad gave me a copy of this when I was 9-10 yrs old.
At that time I read it and thought what fun to be in a school like Tomoe. How lucky was Totto-chan to have gone there.
Now, as I reread it as a mother, I realize how much there is for parents and educators. This is how you nurture kids with self-confidence and a desire to learn.
And the book is ultimately a fun read and not the least bit preachy.
Such a classic.
