Reviews
“Emi and Mini is a gentle read for older children adjusting to new situations or responsibilities. Stéphane Jorisch’s illustrations complement Hanako Masutani’s storytelling (and) throughout the book, colour is effectively used to echo emotions.”
- CM Reviews, recommended
“Absolutely beautiful illustrations by Jorish make Masutani’s charming tale come to life. Many readers will be interested in the glimpses into Emi’s Japanese Canadian culture as they follow her sweet journey … A familiar tale of big changes and animal love that many readers will relate to; some challenging vocabulary makes this a good independent reading choice for intermediate readers or a read-aloud for younger readers.”
