Description

Yuko-chan and the Daruma Doll is a heartwarming tale about resilience and perseverance. In ancient Japan, Yuko-chan, an adventurous blind orphan, faces numerous challenges as she travels through treacherous mountain passes to deliver food to hungry people.

During one of her journeys, Yuko-chan discovers a unique property of her tea gourd - no matter how it's dropped, the tea always lands right-side-up. Inspired by this phenomenon, she creates the famous Daruma doll toy, which rights itself when tipped. The villagers are able to earn a living and feed themselves by selling the dolls, thanks to Yuko-chan's invention.

This beautifully illustrated bilingual book tells the story of Yuko-chan's journey and the power of perseverance. With text in English and Japanese, it is a charming reminder that with determination and creativity, anything is possible.
