Fiction (Juvenile, Picture book)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oto and the Little Yellow Train<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Toronto: Annick Press, 2026.
forthcoming in Oct. 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Oto is on her way home back to the city from the best summer in the Japanese countryside with her Obah-chan. She knows that summer has to come to an end, but maybe on this train ride, she can make her memories last a little longer.
For fans of My Neighbor Totoro and Last Stop on Market Street, this timeless story features hand-painted illustrations and offers a beautiful take on the perennial theme of endings and new beginnings and the complicated nature of living far away from those we love. Readers will be swept along by the lyrical cadence of the train\u2019s rhythm, and follow Oto as she and Obah-chan make their journey from the Japanese countryside into the city to say goodbye for another season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
