"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.
"14 Forest Mice: Lullaby" is about the end of a long and eventful day and tender and important evening rituals. A warm Japanese bath with swimming and games, a cozy dinner, stories that the little mice tell each other in turn. And, of course, mom's evening fairy tale and grandma's lullaby: going to bed with the mouse family is a real pleasure!
Iwamura's books resemble miniature dollhouses, where you want to examine and touch every detail, and each small event is filled with a truly Japanese philosophy and admiration for life in every moment.
Full-scale format, hardcover, enlarged pictures, where it's easier to see all the details! The text is specially placed outside the illustrations so as not to interfere with examining every detail.
