Nichisan and the Ancient Ones Donna Smithey

Nichisan and the Ancient Ones is a charming tale of a mongoose family living on an island. It focuses on a young mongoose that has trouble learning his lessons. The story is told by the grandfather (Opa) to his granddaughters (Suni and Kimi). It is jam-packed with family dynamics and adventure, with a dash of tension and danger thrown in, as Opa relays the story of Nichisan. The familial love, humor and a surprise ending are sure to delight readers of all ages. ?A delightful fable that bridges cultures while delivering an uplifting message of value and worth. Would that every child had an Opa-san to guide them in discovering their lives? special meaning.? Lissa Roberson Christian Worker in East Asia
