"14 Forest Mice" is a very popular series of books in Japan and many European countries about the beauty of everyday life and the life of three generations of a mouse family: grandmother, grandfather, mother, father, and a dozen more little mice.
The mouse family plays hide-and-seek in a bright autumn forest – it's easy to hide under leaves, behind stumps, between branches. But everyone is found, where is Sixie? In search of the little one, the mice go deeper into the forest and witness an amazing sight – an autumn parade of colorful mushrooms, fruits, and berries.
The names and sketches of different types of mushrooms can be found on the endpapers of the book, and you can then go on a search for mushroom treasures in the forest yourself!
Iwamura's books resemble miniature dollhouses; you want to examine and touch every detail in them, and every small event is filled with a truly Japanese philosophy and an admiration for life in every moment.
Full-scale format, hardcover, enlarged pictures making it easier to see all the details! The text is specially placed outside the illustrations so as not to interfere with examining every detail.
