The winsome Sato continues his magical adventures, traversing snowy
landscapes and crossing a sea made of tea. Yet, 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. Selected for the Society of Illustrators 2022 Original
Art Show In this third installment of the whimsical series
originally published in Japan, the titular 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 trilogy, this collection of vignettes
reminds us to look closely at what is small and often overlooked,
and to open ourselves to wonder.

Book of 2022 "One day, Haneru Sato became a rabbit. He's been a
rabbit ever since." With these surrealist, yet matter-of-fact
opening lines, we are transported to a world very much like our
own, yet one that is imbued with an added dimension of wonder and
curiosity. In Sato's world, ordinary objects and everyday routines
can lead to magical encounters: a rain puddle, reflecting the sky,
becomes a window that can be opened and peered through. A walnut is
cracked open to reveal a tiny home, complete with a bathtub and a
comfy bed. During a meteor shower, Sato catches stars in a net,
illuminating the path home for a family taking an evening walk.
This whimsical tale is the first in a trilogy from Japan.
A pillow of fresh spring water, a moon basket, and flowers that
grow more fragrant at night as they carry you aloft into dreams:
such is the gentle world, rich in sensorial experience, nature, and
imagination, of Sato the Rabbit. Pastoral and surreal, the seven
short tales in this collection are a celebration of the senses, and
of the harmony that can exist between a gentle creature such as
Sato the Rabbit and the natural world. Whether it's a pillow of
cool, fresh water offered to him for a nap by the spring on a
blisteringly hot day, a fragrant floral air float to carry him and
his dreams, a hole in his hat, through which he discovers a
midsummer forest full of singing cicadas, or a moon basket,
nature's offerings are a bounty to be marveled at and enjoyed. The
second book in a whimsical trilogy from Japan, this collection of
stories invites readers to embrace the wonders of nature, the
transportive power of the senses, and the transformation of the
imagination. Because, as Sato shows us, the beauty that we see in
the world is actively created by the eyes which perceive it and the
imagination that conceives it.
