Miss Kanagawa arrives from Japan as a Friendship Ambassador, and through the course of her career becomes more and more shabby while interacting with various children and inspiring them towards their better selves. Meanwhile the children themselves teach her about love and humanity, although she never gets to be real. It's a fun little story that reminded me of Miss Hitty and some other "dolls through the generations" stories, but I felt the lack of connection between the children pushed it more towards an episodic feel than a continuous arc. Miss Kanagawa's growth wasn't really enough to glue the sections together.
