No Trash Cans in Japan - Paperback

Jet-setting kids will love reading through this travel-inspired picture book based on a real trip taken by the author and his daughters. Follow two sisters on their first day in Tokyo where-to their surprise-they can't find a trash can!

Maddie and Vallie are two sisters who love to travel together with their family. Today, they've arrived in Tokyo for the very first time in Japan! As soon as they begin to explore, though, they notice something very different about the streets of Tokyo...

There's not a trash can to be found!

As Maddie and Vallie continue through the streets of Japan, they get to see many cool sights they've never experienced before. Together, they get boba tea, they go shopping, and they eat a bowl of ramen!

During their travels, though, their trash begins to pile up in their hands. Even with a bag to carry their refuse, they can't seem to find a place to throw things away! Even though they have all this trash, Tokyo is one of the cleanest places they've ever seen! So where does all the trash go?

No Trash Cans in Japan teaches children a valuable lesson about stewardship, manners, and the beauty of cultural differences! It is a wonderful children's book written by a father, for kids. The ten-year-old, Valentina, who the character Vallie is based on, even drew the illustrations. This engaging children's book acts as both an educational narrative and a fun, silly book told in rhyme. Early readers will love this new bedtime book-which is fun enough to be an anytime book!
