Suki's favorite possession is her blue cotton kimono. A gift from her oba¯chan, it holds special memories of her grandmother's visit last summer. And Suki is going to wear it on her first day back to school -- no matter what anyone says. When it's Suki's turn to share with her classmates what she did during the summer, she tells them about the street festival she attended with her oba¯chan and the circle dance that they took part in. In fact, she gets so carried away reminiscing that she's soon humming the music and dancing away, much to the delight of her entire class!

A lyrical retelling of an Incan folktale. "Kurtz expands upon an Incan folktale, 'The Search for the Magic Lake,' casting it in the dignified, almost reverent prose of a high fantasy quest tale. Frampton's tinted woodcuts, rugged and bold befitting Miro's adventures, incorporate intricately patterned motifs from Incan arts in strong and rugged earthtones." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
