“The spirit obeyed and then departed, for there was nothing more he could do.“

The Stonecutter | Gerald McDermott



This story gives the message that we may wish that we can change and be something else, but the grass isn't always greener on the other side. He keeps changing into something “more powerful“ but ends up feeling less powerful than who he started as.

This Japanese Folk-Tale written by Gerald McDermott follows Tasaku who began the story as a stone cutter. He then wishes to become more powerful and the spirits grant his wishes each time. But each time he wants something more and doesn't end up happy in the end. The illustrations are very abstract, made of shapes which I enjoyed looking at and interpreting them my own way. It looks as though shapes were cut out the pasted on top of each other.

“But Tasaku felt the sharp sting of a chisel. It was a lowly stonecutter, chipping away at his feet. Deep inside, he trembled.

This story would be particularly beneficial to read to young grades who have a tough time understanding the idea if greed and always wishing for something you don't have. Through the simple illustrations and story line of this book, children could understand the impact of greed on their own lives.
