The first book in a completely charming series by a well-known Japanese author and illustrator, Chirri & Chirra introduces two girls who set off on their bicycles into the natural world. Vibrant, lively, and astonishingly sweet in a pure, unsentimental way, these pages present us with relatable children, small animals, lots of food, atmosphere, and many mysteries.
Kaya Doi draws in colored pencil, pastel, and crayon on warm cream paper, giving the whole series the look of a mid-century lithograph. Translated from the Japanese by Yuki Kaneko.
