The first book in a completely charming series by a well-known Japanese author and illustrator, Chirri & Chirra introduces two girl characters who go on wonderful adventures together through the natural world. Vibrant, lively, and astonishingly sweet in a pure, unsentimental way, these pages present us with relatable children, small animals, lots of food, atmosphere, and many mysteries.

Sarah El praises the book as a perfect day in a serene world, highlighting its absence of adults and the whimsical animal characters who run the amenities along Chirri and Chirra's journey. The pastel illustrations on creamy paper recall classic children's picture books, and the story’s gentle, unsentimental tone will charm kids who love detailed descriptions of food and nature.
