Über diesen Titel
Awarded an Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature Picture Book Honor, this stunning audiobook brings to life the imagination of Japanese American artist, Isamu Noguchi.
If you are Isamu, stones are the most special of all.
How can they be so heavy?
Would they float if they had no weight?
Winner of the Theordor Seuss Geisel Award in 2020 for Stop! Bot!, James Yang imagines a day in the boyhood of Japanese American artist, Isamu Noguchi. Wandering through an outdoor market, through the forest, and then by the ocean, Isamu sees things through the eyes of a young artist . . .but also in a way that many children will relate. Stones look like birds. And birds look like stones.
With exquisite prose, Yang translates the essence of Noguchi so that we can all begin to see as an artist sees.
