Chirri & Chirra, In the Night

Chirri and Chirra frolic in the moonlight in the latest whimsical adventure of this much-beloved picture-book series from Japan. On a moonlit night, the two friends ride their bicycles with new cat friends to a Full Moon Festival, where special drinks grant cat ears and tails and flower necklaces serve as tickets to the night market.

Created by Tokyo-born picture-book artist Kaya Doi, known for her color-pencil drawings, and translated by David Boyd, this gentle story celebrates friendship, generosity, discovery, and imagination. Kirkus Reviews described it as "pure, gentle magic," and the series was named to the Wall Street Journal's list of the 20 Best Children's Books of the Past 20 Years. A calm, dreamy picture book to share again and again.
