The Seaside Studio [Chinese]

By Rimako Horikawa

This picture book tells the story of a young girl's growth and emotional healing during her time with a woman painter living alone. The granddaughter discovers a portrait of a little girl in her grandmother's room, which unlocks cherished childhood memories. In these recollections, the young grandmother, unable to attend school due to an unpleasant experience, is invited by her mother's friend--a painter living by the sea--to spend a week in her studio. The artist's unique lifestyle, her thoughtful yet respectful companionship that preserved personal space, and her free-spirited approach to art subtly shaped the young grandmother. Gradually, the little girl learned to capture life's small yet precious moments with a free heart, discovering self-expression and self-acceptance.
