In all those things, it shows that if you listen carefully, if you open your eyes wide, the world is full of wonders. Warm, lyrical and gorgeously illustrated by Fumi Mini Nakamura, this book ranges through joy and pain, encountering love, motherhood and heritage, racism and the destruction humans can wreak.
