Momo Arashima Steals the Sword of the Wind

by Misa Sugiura

For ages 8-12

There are many books about mythology, but this one is special. Misa Sugiura’s fabulous writing not only introduced me to Japanese gods and goddesses but also explored friendship, showed how easy it is to misinterpret other’s actions, and was a reminder that everyone has a story. With a focus on confidence, compassion, and forgiveness, the story is offered with great humor as well.
