A Tea Party in the Woods by Akiko Miyakoshi
A Tea Party in the Woods by Akiko Miyakoshi is a gentle, dreamlike picture book about a girl named Kikko who follows her father into the snowy forest after he forgets a pie for a family gathering. She loses sight of him but stumbles upon a mysterious house where animals—dressed in coats and hats—are hosting a formal tea party. The animals warmly invite her in, share treats, and help return the pie so she can continue on her way.
It’s a quiet, magical story about kindness, bravery, and unexpected friendships.
