Description

This luminous picture book tells the story of Isamu Noguchi, one of the most important sculptors of all time. Before he was renowned for his Akari lamps that changed the way modern buildings light their space, Noguchi was just a kid.

As a Japanese American artist born in the United States and raised in Japan, Noguchi faced challenges in finding his place in both cultures. He found solace in his art, using it to shape, hold, and create light - a symbol of his ability to overcome darkness and isolation.

This poignant book explores themes of mixed racial identity, personal isolation, and the healing power of art. With stunning visuals and poetic storytelling, Emily Hughes brings Noguchi's story to life in a way that is both accessible and powerful.
