Reincarnation for Kiddos

Books from Childhood Filter: What was the name of the book about reincarnation that I had as a kid?

(Yes, I had hippie parents and was raised as a Buddhist. No, I am not hallucinating the existence of this book.)

Details I remember: The main character in the story (picture book) was a child who chose his parents and then grew up, died, and chose a new life as a girl at the end of the book. The child/ren liked kites. The art was really beautiful. That's about it, pretty vague, I know - but I figure there can't be *too many* books focusing on reincarnation marketed for Western children.
