This charming miniature tale was written by beloved children’s author Nankichi Niimi and first published in 1948. In just a few pages, it tells the story of a little sparrow who is overjoyed to find a one-sen copper coin—but in its excitement, it accidentally drops the coin and later falls ill from catching a cold. What happens to the coin? The gentle, heartwarming ending makes this short story a hidden gem of Japanese children's literature. Perfect for reading aloud to young children.
