The Fox Wish
Kimiko Aman, illustrated by Komako Sakai
A girl and her younger brother return to a playground for a jump rope she left behind. Instead, they discover foxes using it. The foxes are not very skilled at the human game, so the children join them and offer pointers. The girl observes the unusual encounter in a straightforward voice, while the foxes’ attempts at jumping rope supply gentle comedy. The story brings an everyday playground errand into a fantastical meeting between children and animals.
