The Origami Master written by Nathaniel Lachenmeyer, illustrated by Aki Sogabe
A featured title of The Big Read, The Origami Master tells the tale of a master origami creator in the isolated mountains of Japan. As he creates his small works of art he is watched closely by a warbler, who, in the dead of night, folds his own beautiful origrami works of art. Discovering the warbler to the creator of the small wonders, he is not content to let the warbler be, but instead captures him in order to discover his skill. What transpires in a wonderful story of realization for the master. A simply told tale, one best shared with a child in the lap.
