Kazuo Iwamura's book "14 Forest Mice. Dinner with the Moon" is about a large mouse family preparing for Tsukimi, the traditional Japanese festival of admiring the full moon. All three generations of mice cheerfully gather delicious provisions, climb high up an old tree branch, and together build a cozy platform to welcome the evening. In the moonlight, all members of the large family gather to enjoy the tranquility of nature, food, and the beauty of the full moon.
The book teaches family care, unity, and the ability to find joy in simple things.
