Canato Jimo’s wordless picture book will leave you feeling utterly enchanted and filled with joy following the antics of two little ones who lay their hands on a pair of scissors. True, we must never leave scissors around for little hands to find, but what happens in the pages of this book will only bring a smile to your face, and another, and another.
Set in North-East India, this story explores big and small losses, goodbyes and change through a multi-layered narrative with many questions. Why does someone have to leave the village? What makes a city different? The vivid artwork is consistently from a child’s perspective, capturing the feeling of being small in a vast world. Layered with everyday joy and human-nature connections, this is a book for many ages!
