First published in 1995, this is a portrait of life in Japanese preschools and elementary schools, and a catalyst to examine what preschool and early elementary education should be. It explores how Japanese children learn to cooperate, exercise self-discipline, and care about schooling and its values. Its thesis is that Japanese schools are successful because they meet children's needs for friendship, belonging, and contribution.
