When the Snow Country Prince - guardian of the birds - asks Mariko and Kazuo to look after the swans during the winter, they take the responsibility very seriously. They rescue a swam that has been attacked by wolves and spend the winter nursing it back to health, never giving up, even when life looks its bleakest. Written by Daisaku Ikeda. Illustrated by Brian Wildsmith. Translated by Geraldine McCaughrean. Published by Treasure Tower Book 1' 3/8" x 9' 5/8" Hardcover 30 pgs
