Satomi Ichikawa ~ Parents' Magazine Press, 1976
A native of Japan but a resident of France, Satomi's work is the perfect combination of east meets west... like watching the world through airbrushed glasses that filter just the right amount of light and ambiance.
A simple story of friends...

for jumping over, and bumping over,
and making mean ugly faces- or beautiful smiling faces.
We need friends to help draw big pictures

for doing homework together.

and listen to a silly story.

Satomi Ichikawa's everything always makes me feel safe. Thank-you, I needed a BIG smitch of Ichikawa today.
I ADORE Satomi!!! I did posts on Nora's Stars and Nora's Roses last year, have you ever seen those books? I really want to check out Nora's Castle and La La Rose, about a cute bunny who gets lost in a Paris park. Her art is so lovely!
