The farmer and his family can't wait to escape the Poor God who lives in their attic. They'll leave before the sun comes up, and they'll never be poor again!

But something keeps them from leaing, and in their Poor God they find richness they would not have found anywhere else.

Ruth Well's retelling of this Japanese folktale, with Yoshi's lush illustratuons, creates a compelling book and reminds us that sometimes what we're looking for is in the most unexpected places.
