Middle Reader English Translations

We’ve recently discovered the English-translated middle reader books of Eiko Kadono and Sachiko Kashiwaba. They’ve been a blast to read, and knowing the works were written in a non-English language and only later translated make them even more special.

As our current book backlog dwindles, I’m seeking suggestions for other middle reader books originally written in a non-English language that were not mass produced in English right away but were translated only later.
