Museum educator Midori Oka reads One-Inch Boy using poster-like kamishibai cards. One-Inch Boy proves himself by using his knowledge and strength of character to prevail in difficult situations. After the story, create a hanging scroll by coloring a picture of One-Inch Boy, a carp or your own drawing. Made possible by HP Hood LLC.
