Winner of the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award for Illustration, and a New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book of the Year.
From Publishers Weekly
A one-eyed samurai is unjustly forced to be a servant in this Japanese folktale; PW praised Paterson's retelling as "rich with magic, compassion and love," and the Dillons' pastel and watercolor illustrations as "exquisite." Ages 5-8.
