Synopsis

A gentle bilingual retelling of one of Japan's most beloved folktales — now in English and Japanese, side by side. A poor but kind old man and his wife share a simple, happy life with their beloved dog, Shiro, whose gentle spirit brings them unexpected fortune. When a jealous neighbor's harsh treatment leads to heartbreak, the old couple's enduring love transforms their grief into something wondrous — turning bare branches into blossoms and touching the heart of even a passing lord. A timeless story of loyalty, loss, and the quiet power of kindness that outshines greed every time. Hanasaka Jiisan: The Old Man Who Made Trees Bloom is Book 10 in the Kogetsu Japanese Tales series, a collection of classic Japanese folktales retold for young readers ages 7–12. Each softly illustrated, bilingual picture book pairs warm watercolor artwork with English and Japanese text, making it perfect for family read-alouds, language learners, and anyone curious about Japan's rich storytelling tradition.
