Bookroo's summary
In ancient Japan, a young tanuki with the power to transform finds himself stuck as a teapot. His journey takes him from his family to the Emperor's court, where only the Emperor's grandson holds the key to his true form. Will he regain his identity, or remain a teapot forever? Discover the enchanting tale of magic, adventure, and the quest for self-discovery.
From the publisher
Yoshi the tanuki—a Japanese raccoon-dog—learns how to magically transform himself into anything, even a teapot. But what happens when he can’t change back? This is the tale of the teapot-tanuki’s adventures, from the day he leaves his family to the day he meets the Emperor himself. What will it take for this teapot to become a tanuki again? Only the Emperor’s grandson knows the answer. Asian-influenced illustrations using vibrant acrylic paints bring the mythical tanuki to life. An author’s note is included.
