Description
A picture book about a young girl who learns to appreciate life's imperfections when her grandmother teaches her about the Japanese art form kintsugi. Miki Amelia Masuda liked everything in her life to be perfect, but when she accidentally breaks her favorite teacup, she's devastated. Her grandmother presents her with the fixed teacup, which is not perfect - each crack is highlighted by a gold streak of paint. This story follows one girl's journey to understanding that life isn't always perfect. Through the art of kintsugi, Waka T. Brown and artist Yuko Jones show readers that rips, cracks, and tears have their own stories to tell, ones that are meaningful in their own way. A heartwarming tale about embracing imperfection and finding beauty in unexpected places. The book is a beautifully illustrated picture book for children, exploring themes of self-discovery, family, and the importance of accepting things as they are.
