Amazing

This book is an amazing story of a journey - and change - and growing - and being - and ending up right where you are supposed to be. Sounds too deep for a child's book, but the journey is told perfectly and with ease. The illustrations are lavish - beautiful enough to hang on the wall. This is a comforting story that has nurtured both of my children as we have traveled to live in different countries. I pull this book out each winter - it brings us warmth.

Lovely, lovely, lovely...

This is a book of feelings and emotions and beauty, which children intuitively understand on a very basic level. With absolutely stunning illustrations (done with a Japanese paper technique), the story uses a natural metaphor of a bubble released in the ocean, and a raindrop falling from the sky, to explain how each of us ends up right where we belong. Deceptively simple, yet lyrical, this is a book that will give your child a sense of both wonder and belonging.

Beautiful aesthetics

This book is a very poignant tale of deep aesthetic and meditative meaning. This child learns the very simplicity of life and its beauty. I suggest everyone own a copy. The illustrator is an unsung master.
