★ A little mayfly, born at dawn and dying at dusk, meets the eternal sun. A dialogue stretching across scales of time and space, a poetic fable about existence, fading away, and the dignity of life. In a single day, the smallest of lives can shine its brightest light — the mayfly, with all her passion, teaches the sun to be curious again, and invites every reader, regardless of age, to reexamine the meaning of "being alive".
★ English translation samples available.

"Sun, what's it like living beyond one day?" asked Little Mayfly.
The Sun thought for a moment before saying, "The day passes into the night, and then the night passes into the day. That's it really."

A little mayfly breaks through the water's surface. She has only one day to live. At dawn, she meets the sun. One lives for a single day, the other for eternity — two lives that seem never to intersect, yet they begin a conversation that transcends time and space.
With the sun's company, the mayfly explores day and night, the cycle of the seasons, wind, frost, rain, and snow. At sunset, holding a beautiful wish in her heart, her life ends in a blaze of brilliance. The next day, nature brings forth a new mayfly…
This is an uplifting story about the power of positivity and making the most of every day.
