Chirri & Chirra: In the Tall Grass

Chirri and Chirra go on an imaginative adventure where they discover the small overlooked mysteries of the natural world.

In their second adventure to reach the US market, Chirri & Chirra become very small, and so are able to explore the magical world hidden away in a mound of tall grass. Filled with friendly, industrious bees and equally inventive bugs, this is a book that brings the lovely particularity of life in Japan--marked by food and nature--to young readers here.
