Arikawa

An ode to kindness, sacrifice, and the power of small things traces the experiences of adventurous Nana the cat and his owner, Satoru, as they embark on a road trip across Japan to visit three old friends.—Baker & Taylor



"Told from the perspective of a cat, this is a beautiful and bittersweet story of the cat and his human."—Submitted by Tressa R., Materials Handler
