The Bicycle Man by Allen Say (1982)

I was just showing someone the children's books on Japan that we have and ran across author, illustrator Allen Say. When I went up to show her the books, I took a couple to read myself, and would like to read all of his books.

This is a picture book about Japanese students after WWII. A couple of American soldiers come by their school and even without language skills break down the anxiety among the students.
