Originally published in Japan, and translated into English for minedition by Sayako Uchida, The Old Lion and the Little Rabbit is a beautifully crafted picture-book, one which pairs a spare but emotionally resonant text with lovely pencil and acrylic artwork. I was deeply appreciative of the melancholy resolution to Kaichi's story, because I so rarely see children's books deal honestly with the nature of choice, and the idea that sometimes something must be sacrificed, in order to do what is right and/or good. The lion's decision, at the close of the tale, is all the more satisfying, because he is sacrificing, not only a meal, but his last, best chance at happiness.
