Chirri & Chirra by Kaya Doi, translated from Japanese by Yuki Kaneko, is the first book in a beautifully imaginative picture book series that celebrates curiosity, kindness, and the joy of wandering through a world shaped by a child’s sense of wonder.
On a perfect day, two sisters set off on a bicycle ride through a gently unfolding landscape where delightful surprises appear just when they are needed. Along the way, they encounter forest cafés, bakeries, bridges, cozy resting places, and a welcoming forest hotel, all inhabited by friendly animals who move through the world with quiet magic and generosity.
There is no conflict to solve and no rush to arrive anywhere. Instead, the story invites children to linger over small details, shared meals, and peaceful moments. The absence of adult characters leaves space for independence, imagination, and the rhythms of a child-centered world where curiosity leads the way.
Rendered in colored pencil, pastel, and crayon, the illustrations glow with warmth and texture, evoking an old-fashioned, timeless feeling. The gentle pacing and abundant visual details make this book especially well suited for slow reading, repeated viewing, and shared storytelling.

This is truly the cutest, most beautifully made Montessori shelf I’ve ever seen! The instructions were clear and simple, the finish is flawless, and the tiered design gives it such an elevated look. It holds nine toys perfectly for rotation, and I love that the mounting hardware is included. Amazing quality—I'll definitely be coming back to RAD for future furniture!
Perfect for 10 month old. She really likes playing with things on top of it. She'll be able to use for years.
If you’re reading this and considering this table…BUY IT! I’m so pleased with the quality, it’s heavy! The responsive and helpful team at RAD kindly left my order unfinished so that I could apply stain and I’m pleased with the result. It arrived so insanely well packaged, that alone must have taken them hours. This small, USA business doesn’t take any shortcuts. They define craftsmanship!
This is wonderful for my two-under-two. Easy to assemble and plenty of room even for a third toddler! Very easy to move around the kitchen as well (i.e. not too heavy) but still very stable. I added a stair tread traction strip to the edge of the top and the step to give kids a little more traction when wearing socks. 🙂 Picture taken before traction was added.
