The Chirri and Chirra stories are her first to appear in English, thanks to the wonderful Enchanted Lion books and a translation by Yuki Kaneko. Kaya Doi is a Tokyo based illustrator, prolific and much loved in Japan. In the Snowy Day the children are even more rosy cheeked than normal, as they ignore the unsuitable cycling conditions and plough through the frozen scenery into a magical ice cave populated by impossibly cute animals.Įverything about this small but perfectly formed book is a sensory delight, from the warm, off white paper to the soft, to the dreamy endpapers. Each of their adventures sees them set off on their bicycles for an adventure in the natural world. Chirri and Chirra are two identical Japanese children who live in a hut on the edge of a forest.
