She can't sleep, and the reason she can't sleep is because of the giant dragon that sits outside her bedroom window, every single night. So one night she plucks up the courage to ask the dragon to leave, not knowing that the truth she is about to discover is more thrilling than anything she could ever have imagined. This delightful story will take the young readers on a soaring dragon adventure, as Kumiko discovers a strength she never even knew she had.

Book excerpt: Kumiko is a delicate and sophisticated technique of assembling wooden pieces into beautiful patterns without the use of nails, and Matt Kenney's latest book offers step by step instructions that can't be found in print elsewhere. Kenney, a former editor at Fine Woodworking is at the forefront of a revival in interest in Kumiko. He has included Kumiko in both his furniture designs and as stand-alone framed panels that highlight the work. Kenney's methods are reimagined for the modern workshop but still require precise handwork that pays homage to the craft.

Featuring purses, pins, sewing accoutrements, and the author's own temari balls, the 30 original hand-sewn designs combine surprisingly simple techniques with exquisite colors and fabrics, allowing sewers to create lavish objets d'art, with delicate beading and embroidery, easily and inexpensively.

The color photographs and line drawings show multiple points of view for each project and show precisely how each artful, stylish, and charming piece comes together.--From publisher description.

Book excerpt: Every three years, three hundred square miles of land in northwestern Japan are transformed into the most ambitious and largest-scale art installation in the world: the Echigo-Tsumari Art Field. One hundred sixty of the world's best-known landscape artists, sculptors, and architects create artworks in two hundred villages that dot the mountains and terraced rice fields of the Japanese countryside, with the intent of rediscovering relationships between nature, art, and humanity, forging collaborations between global artists and local communities, and connecting people to each other and the land. Half a million people make the annual pilgrimage to witness this unique art project. Art Place Japan offers an exhaustive full-color catalog of the eight hundred artworks created during the past fifteen years. For those lucky enough to visit, this book, the first in English on the subject, also offers detailed information on how to visit the often-remote sites, with travel information and a newly commissioned map that locates the projects throughout the Niigata Prefecture.
