The Happiness of Kati by Jane Vejjajiva (translated by Prudence Borthwick) is a beautiful gentle sad-but-happy book. It was a HUGE bestseller in Thailand and now it's a movie. How exciting!
Here are some cover images from around the world (I don't know about you, but we always find the differences from country to country fascinating!)

I loved this book and the film looks lovely--true to both the story and the spirit of the book. Let's hope it gets screened here somewhere, somehow!
I loved this book too.
Love the Aus cover and the Thai cover. German cover is a bit non. Loathe the American cover, it's got worthy multicultural text for school use only stamped all over it, and it was such a lovely delicate tale, not at all worthy.
