This is the second book I've happily reviewed about Miyuki. This time, she's impatiently waiting for the spring flowers to open. This leads her on a quest to find the purest water to encourage her flower to bloom. Each part of her quest is accompanied by full page illustrations which are breathtakingly lovely, crisp, and beautifully rendered. This is a wonderful book for children and adults alike and would make a super read-together for bedtime (or library read-along).
I'm so enamored of the clean expressive style of the artwork and the gentle lulling lyricism of the prose. This is a really lovely book.
Superlative. Five stars
