Yoko's Paper Cranes (Hardcover, 1st ed)

When Yoko was very small, she and her Grandmother, Obaasan, fed the cranes in the pond at the end of the garden. When Yoko moves to California, she remembers her Grandmother and Grandfather in Japan. Every week letters go back and forth. She thinks of their garden and their cranes. And when Grandmother’s birthday comes, Yoko sends the most wonderful gift of all.

Rosemary Wells celebrates the love between grandchildren and grandparents in this sequel to best-selling Yoko. She has developed a new collage technique in which she combines the richness of origami and washi papers, goldleaf, and paint to create an unforgettable portrait of three generations.

Rosemary Wells is the New York Times best-selling author of Emily’s First 100 Days of School, as well as the adored McDuff series, and Yoko & Friends—School Days, a paperback series featuring this darling kitten. Ms. Wells lives in Westchester County, New York.
