About this title

Synopsis

The winsome Sato continues his magical adventures, traversing snowy landscapes and crossing a sea made of tea. No matter where he ventures, his participation in the natural world, and the magic that he finds within the ordinary, infuse each new day with possibility.

In this third installment of the whimsical series originally published in Japan, Sato continues his adventures, exploring both expansive landscapes―snowy fields, forests, oceans made of tea―and tiny microcosms of worlds, found in unlikely places, like within a freshly-baked pie!

In Sato's reality, which is in many ways similar to our own, seemingly commonplace occurrences are portals to new and fantastical experiences, and every object possesses an intrinsic magic and aliveness.

Like all of the installments in the beloved series, this collection of vignettes reminds us to look closely at what is small and often overlooked, and to open ourselves to wonder.
