"They Came to the Forest" Sandra Dieckmann / Ayumi Mure / Ritsuko Mibe Price: ¥1900 A debut work by a promising picture book author, recognized by Shaun Tan, the Academy Award-winning animation artist and author of the global hit, "Arrival"! The animals came to the forest and saw a white creature for the first time. It collected leaves every day. Why? For what purpose? This picture book depicts a major problem in modern society with a simple story and charming illustrations, fostering empathy and acceptance. I read it once and then stored it on the bookshelf. It's in near-new, clean condition. #SandraDieckmann #AyumiMure #RitsukoMibe #Books #ForeignLiterature/Novels/Stories
