Feature
★This book demonstrates the power of the question "Why?". It teaches children how to ask questions and gives adults the courage to ask again. Philosophy does not start with grandiose language but with the questions and answers that arise in daily life.
Description
Yesterday, the day before yesterday, and perhaps tomorrow too! But why? This is a story of growth written with a warm gaze!
A bird asked Hao why he was hanging on the horizontal bar, and Hao fell into deep thought. His curiosity extended to the bus handrails, the persimmons at the top of the branches, the spiders spinning silk, the scenery under the eaves, and the stars in the night sky.
At the end of his journey, Hao met these creatures hanging on the horizontal bar, asked them questions, listened carefully, and finally found the meaning of his existence. This book tells the story of Hao, a child living a repetitive life, who grows up quietly through various encounters. Follow him as an ordinary day becomes extraordinary and how he gains that small but wonderful insight. Through vivid imagination, warm illustrations, and deeply affectionate prose, readers will unconsciously discover their own growth.
