Tea Party in the Woods
Tea Party in the Woods | Akiko Miyakoshi
9 posts | 15 read | 3 to read
When a young girl named Kikko realizes her father has forgotten the pie he was supposed to bring to Grandma's house, she offers to try and catch him as he makes his way through the woods. She hurriedly follows her father's footprints in the snow and happens upon a large house she has never seen before. Curious, Kikko peers through the window, when she is startled by a small lamb wearing a coat and carrying a purse. Even more surprising, the lamb speaks, asking her in a kind voice, ?Are you here for the tea party Suddenly, Kikko realizes her trip through the woods has turned into something magical. Award-winning author and illustrator Akiko Miyakoshi has beautifully crafted an original fairy tale picture book that will delight and enchant. The unique visual presentation features mostly black-and-white art with the occasional use of red or yellow to help guide readers through the pages. Kikko's blend of courage and reticence along with her inquisitive nature makes her a character children will relate to, and the many unexpected twists and turns of her adventure keep the intrigue growing. The ambiguous ending --- in which it is not clear whether Kikko imagined the tea party or if the animals simply disappeared back into the woods --- provides a terrific opportunity for children to weigh in on what they think happened. This book also could launch classroom conversations about children's own experiences of being trusted with big responsibilities.

I mentioned I would be back with more thoughts on this one. Here‘s the link if you want to see all 3 minutes of my nonsense. Spoilers and inconsequential conspiracies abound. Shoutout to the librarian sirens of Litsy 😜 🧜‍♀️ 📚 https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTdojm8mg/?k=1

Bookzombie This is great! I‘m not on TikTok, so thank you for sharing! “Did she have a psychotic break?!” 🤣 2y
Bookzombie Also, stacked it. 2y
MatchlessMarie @Bookzombie I tried to work in the fact that it was a rabbit that offered her tea 😂 🐇 🎩 2y

Lovely story about a little girl, Kikko, who while bringing a pie to her grandma, stumbles on a peculiar tea party... Loved the story, loved the illustrations

#LetsTravelJuly Day 28: What I found so fascinating in this book is the hint of danger that is skirting around the edges. When the girl got lost in the #forest (she was actually following a bear rather than her father), she chanced upon this strange house where apparently, a tea party was taking place.

#SeasonsReadings Day 9: The story has a fairy-tale vibe to it with a young girl named Kikko rushing after her father who was on his way through the woods to help Grandmother “clear the walk” in their #winterwonderland world. However, Father left the pie meant for Grandma and Kikko was determined to bring it to him, and found a tea party instead. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-dhq

I‘m a bit late (sick in bed all week 😷🤧) and I had trouble with this one but here goes!!!
1. I would want to have a tea party with a whole bunch of children‘s authors. Can you imagine the conversation??
2. I‘m actually ok with not traveling back in time.
3. Maybe Kat Dennings. I don‘t think I look like her, but I like her attitude. 💪🏻👍🏻🙍🏻‍♀️

KCorter Have you tried Yogi's Mayan Cocoa Spice or Lemon Ginger tea? So unbelievably good! 7y
Aseleener The Soothing Bedtime Caramel is also amazing. 7y
Jenshootsweddings @Aseleener soothing bedtime caramel?! 😍😍 7y
Books88 I just tried the green tea blueberry by them, my gosh my stomach has shrunk like crazy! 7y
JPeterson @Suzze I just made a cup of that for tonight! It has great flavor, but light enough to help relax at night. 💕 @KCorter I haven't tried either of those. This is my first time buying packages of Yogi tea, and I went a bit crazy. 🙈 But it's all tasting so good! Those will have to be next on my list! 7y
JPeterson @Aseleener I saw that, and was very tempted. Is the caramel a strong flavor in it? @Jenshootsweddings 7y
JPeterson @AJBowers That's awesome! I wish I liked blueberries, or I would try that in a heartbeat. I just had the green tea pomegranate, and, so good! @saresmoore @ephemeralwaltz @Samwise_Gamgee 😊😊 7y
EllieDottie The is the perfect side to an afternoon of reading! 7y
DebinHawaii Tea is always a good thing. I use their Breathe Deep tea a lot. 💜 7y
JPeterson @EllieDottie Exactly! @DebinHawaii That it is! Do you know what is in their Breathe Deep tea? Lavender, perhaps? 7y
DebinHawaii @JPeterson It's licorice root, eucalyptus, thyme, tulsi, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, peppermint, mullein leaf, & elecampane root & organic flavors. 7y
JPeterson @DebinHawaii Mmm, sounds tasty! 😊 7y
