Featured in Publishers Weekly Spring Children's Preview ""Origami is put to unique uses in this lighthearted story and instructional guide…Ita's pleasantly rough-edged illustrations depict origami as a playful art more than a precise craft, and Aya…is a sarcastic but relatable protagonist, even for the origami unenthused. A quirky, fun introduction to the art of folding paper."" —Kirkus
