This picture book is charming, featuring the bright and powerful illustrations and heartwarming story unique to Mr. Izamu Akino. It's a rare book with a handwritten illustration and signature. (Synopsis) A young man in a village kindly offered lodging to an elderly woman with white hair who came seeking a night's rest. The next day, while the men were out hunting wild cattle and the women were digging for potatoes, the old woman made delicious bread the children had never seen before and fed it to them. That night, the adults, having heard the story from the children, joined in a grand feast while eating the bread. However, the young man, wondering where she had gotten such delicious ingredients, peeked at how she made it. The old woman, knowing she had been seen, then... This is an old tale from Native Americans that explains the origin of corn. Corn is now widespread throughout the world, but it was originally a crop that Native Americans protected and cultivated. It's a memorable story filled with the feeling of not wasting crops and cherishing them. This is a used book, so there is some wear and tear. It was received from someone else, and the details are unknown. Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to your purchase. Thank you for viewing.
