In the Meadow

"In the Meadow "is our first book in our Being in the World series, a collection of nature books from Japan. Each book will focus on what it feels like to be in a particular place.

The book ends on a peaceful note, with mommy and daughter together. Yukiko Kato is a famous Japanese novelist.
