Grasshopper

Autumn in the forest is the time to gather the harvest. Nuts and seeds have already been collected. Let's go dig sweet potatoes together with the charming family of mice from the books of Japanese artist Kazuo Iwamura. It's not an easy task when the sweet potato root is big and hides deep underground! But everything is possible when the whole family — both small and large — works together. And what beautiful weather there is, and what a delicious dinner made from sweet potatoes turned out, a real treat!
«14 Forest Mice» is a very popular series of books in Japan and many European countries about the beauty of everyday life and the lives of three generations of a mouse family: grandmother, grandfather, mother, father, and another dozen little mice. Immediately after its release in 2017, the books in the series became bestsellers of the «Samokat» publishing house.
Iwamura's books resemble miniature dollhouses, where you want to examine and touch every detail, and every little event is filled with truly Japanese philosophy and a love for life in every moment.
