WINTER’S BOOK

Text: Cameron White, Illustration: Chaco Kato, Translation: Tetsuta Watanabe
Sandwitch Press, City of Melbourne, Melbourne, 2014

….Winter’s Book tells the story of Winter, left behind while her father is on a business trip to Japan to research his book on animals.  Winter and her pet hamster Hamlet look forward to his messages and occupy themselves during his absence by creating their very own book.  Told in language which is as beautiful as it is sparse, Winter’s Book is bilingual with the English prose accompanied by its Japanese translation.  Chaco Kato’s delightful watercolour illustrations have a distinctly Japanese flavour and their simplicity is a perfect marriage for White’s story. -Tanya Grech Welden, more
