 A young Japanese girl Miyuki anxiously awaits spring with her grandfather. One sleepy flower doesn’t bloom and Miyuki goes in search of the finest water to awaken the precious and delicate flower. Her grandfather suggests that she just sit in the sunshine with him and watch and wait. The magical illustrations with bold origami floral patterns are rendered in watercolor and colored pencils. They invite children to pay attention to the natural world. mjw |
