Summary: Ethical lessons made simple -- Very highly recommended
Comment: While aunt recovers from a broken leg, young Michi apprentices to Mistress Shinyo, an aging kimono maker. Before leaving, Michi promises her aunt that she will do her best work and keep free of bitterness. Mistress Shinyo's hands, damaged from arthritis, can no longer sew as they once did, but she promises to teach Michi to sew seams that small and tight.
Two other girls also work with Michi, and they resent her ability to learn quickly and supercede their own skills. If Michi makes them look bad, Mistress Shinyo will be angry and expect them to practice more. If they all do poorly, the two girls will have more time to pursue their own pleasures.
Based on a true story, all readers will treasure THE INVISIBLE SEAM. In a world filled with instant gratification and getting something for nothing, parents will appreciate the values taught in this story, including working hard, respect for authority, and forgiveness. Exquisite watercolor illustrations include historically accurate detail. bringing the story a stately beauty. THE INVISIBLE SEAM comes very highly recommended!

Summary: A Wonderful Story
Comment: I like buying my niece and nephew books that teach them about different cultures. The Invisible Seam will not only give the reader insight into what life was like in Japan in the early 1900's, but it teaches children that everyone has unique talents and that being jealous of others' abilities can do no good. The illustrations are wonderful, too -- this book will not disappoint.
