Overview

A book that helps young readers make sense of the concept of time and just how much happens in a year.   The Tanaka family are moving out of their apartment building and into a house. Follow them on their journey to see how their life changes over the course of a year. See the family engage with their new environment and keep ties with their old community, as they enjoy a year full of adventures. This isn’t your typical book of seasons. Instead, award-winning Japanese paper-cut artist Chihiro Takeuchi takes us on a visual journey through the seasons that showcases diverse cultural celebrations, with a special emphasis on those holidays unique to Japan. She also leans in on the life of one particular family to give readers a sense of the growth they can expect to see happen in twelve months.   This is a story that works on multiple levels: as a narrative, an introduction to seasons and holidays, and a conversation about how much can happen in a year.
