Crow Boy (signed)
New York: Viking Press / Junior Literary Guild, 1955 4th Printing, 1962 
Folio. Decorated rust cloth. 37pp with Taro Yashima's distinctive illustrations in rich, bright colors. The sensitively told and ultimately joyous story of a small boy who was taunted by his schoolmates. Awarded a Caldecott Honor. Yashima painted a scarecrow on the half-title and signed it with his chop; on the opposite page he's written a brief inscription dated 1965, and painted a small crow. Small nick to cloth at fore-edge, minor wear, but with a puncture mark which goes through the board on the upper cover. Good. Contents clean.
