The origami master [electronic resource]. Nathaniel Lachenmeyer.
Shima the Origami Master lives on a mountain in Japan. He isn't lonely, for his beautiful origami animals keep him company. One morning Shima finds a marvelous new paper elephant on his desk. Where could it have come from? The next morning, a splendid dragon is in its place. It looks real enough to fly away. That night, Shima stays awake to find out who could make such wonderful creatures. But when he discovers who the mysterious artist is, he learns a surprising lesson about friendship. Included are instructions on how to make the origami flapping bird design. Aki Sogabe's paper-cut art in the Japanese tradition richly complements Nathaniel Lachenmeyer's lovely story.
