This is one of my favorite multicultural culture books it is about a Japanese boy who loves to sleep. Everyone in town made jokes about how lazy he is and how worthless he has become. His mother works very hard to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. But she could not handle it by herself anymore it was very hard being a widow. She begged her son to get a job so he can help around the house but he would not. He then falls in love with a girl who comes from a wealthy family. This is when he comes up with a plot so he can be rich too. He tricks her father into marrying his daughter, giving him money and also providing him with a job. The illustration is beautiful and very detailed I would recommend this book to all teachers and parents.
