Mom's Review
I couldn't stop smiling as I read ashimpa! This romp through language as a community tries to ascertain the meaning and proper use of an old word newly rediscovered is hilarious. The confusion and dissension that result delight the reader, and the artwork fits the unfolding events perfectly. Anyone who has fun playing with language MUST read this book!
