\"\"In this delightful, already Ignatz-nominated debut by Japan-born, Brooklyn-based Rumi Hara<\/a>, 3-year-old Nori is cared for by her grandmother (who can\u2019t always keep up) while both parents work. Each of these six adventurous shorts features a contrasting single color overlaid on otherwise black-and-white panels, capturing the incorrigibly energetic Nori\u2019s exploits.<\/p>\n

The opening, salmon-tinted chapter sets the tone for expectations: Nori is young enough that she still demands to be carried even as her grandmother tires, then carelessly bold enough to run off alone, causing a trail of worried tears. In preschool, her impish, disruptive exploits are tinted in orange. In other chapters, Nori discovers \u201cCreatures of a Ditch\u201d in a shallow waterway (with aqua highlights), meets a mythical \u201cexpeditioner\u201d (in blue), and makes a kite while Mommy is sick (in rose).<\/p>\n

The longest (and single color-mismatched) chapter \u2013 introduced with a salmon chapter page but enhanced throughout in brown \u2013 is also the collection\u2019s highlight, presenting a raffle-won Nori-and-Grandma trip to Hawaii.<\/p>\n

Amidst the innocent fun, Hara skillfully inserts possible challenges ahead \u2013 aging caregivers, overworked parents, family dysfunction, bullying, even homelessness \u2013 to create enlightening entertainment.<\/p>\n
