."..the story and illustrations will hold a child’s interest with comparisons to Japanese and American culture written in a voice they can easily identify with." --"The Japan Times"
"My Awesome Japan Adventure" is lush with specific, intriguing details about the Japanese culture and the lives of Japanese children and families. It’s the voice, though, that will win kids over. Otowa smartly chose to write about Japanese culture, using the point of view of Dan, who, at the end of the book, vows to come back to Japan." "The Children’s Book Review"

"This book is great for introducing older children to Japanese culture or for more advanced Japanese children learning English. How interesting to see your country through the eyes of a foreigner. Highly recommended for children interested in learning about other parts of the world. It would also be great for a book report on Japan." --CatherineAmi.com blog

"There’s a lot covered here but it’s all presented at a level that’s rather accessible for both those with no knowledge of Japan and for a younger audience that doesn’t want to (or can’t) pour through dry guidebooks. [...] Rebecca Otowa truly knows her subject -- having lived in Japan for 30 years and raised children and grandchildren here, she has a good feel for what will interest her younger readers." --Uncovering Japan blog
