Shelter from the rain

"A House of Leaves" combines a spare, simple text by Kiyoshi Soya with bright, friendly illustrations by Akiko Hayashi. Together they tell the story of Sarah, a little Asian girl who takes shelter under a canopy of leaves when she is caught out in the rain. She is soon joined by various types of insects who also seek shelter.This is a good choice for beginner readers, and reminds children that many insects are harmless and need not be feared.

A sweet story

This is a sweet story. A little girl, Sarah, is caught in the rain and finds shelter in a "house of leaves" that she shares with the creatures that come by. It's a gentle story with gentle illustrations - perfect for bedtime.I wish it were still in print.
