<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A beloved toy fox becomes lost, tattered, repaired, and loved for his imperfections<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>When a storm sweeps Emi's beloved stuffed fox away from their mountain home, he ends up tattered and alone on a distant shore. A kind old man finds the fox and gives it to his granddaughter, Kiko. As she recovers from an injury of her own, Kiko mends the fox lovingly with golden thread. <p/> As the seasons pass, Kiko cares for the fox as her own. But after discovering his origins, she sets out, with her grandfather's help, to bring the fox back to its original home. Once together, Emi and Kiko piece together the fox's journey and find delight in their newly forged connections. <p/> <i>Golden Threads</i> is inspired by the Japanese art form of <i>kintsugi</i>, or golden joinery, where broken pottery is repaired with resin painted gold. <i>Kintsugi</i> values repairing, rather than replacing, believing that the cracks give the broken item its story. This book is also a warm celebration of <i>wabi-sabi</i>, the Japanese idea that there is beauty in things that may be incomplete or imperfect.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[Del Rizzo] reminds her readers that brokenness can lead to finding greater strength, and our imperfections are what make us even more beautiful.-- "Mighty Village"<br><br>A beautiful story of healing and strength.-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br><br>An inspiring cross-cultural message showing that our experiences make us stronger.-- "Booklist - STARRED REVIEW"<br><br>Encourages children to find beauty in imperfections and strength in adversity.-- "Foreword Reviews - STARRED REVIEW"<br><br>Golden Threads is softly stunning, visually and in its storytelling...Sweet, kind, and loving, a lovely book about getting lost, healing, and coming home.-- "Andrew King, University Book Store (WA)"<br><br>Here author and illustrator combine forces to effortlessly convey the Japanese art of kintsugi...
