About This Item

Milkweed Editions, 2020-09-08. hardcover. New. 5x0x8. Nakamura, Fumi.

Synopsis

World of Wonders is a mesmerizing work of essays and tender illustrations, meditations on nature, cumulative in effect; nature as memoir, nature as metaphor, nature as simply and joyously itself. Each chapter captures a moment, each centered around a different natural phenomenon and charts the reverberations of the lived experience it evokes, be it family, identity or the notion of belonging. She urges us to start small to “start with what we loved as kids and see where that leads us.” A centering book, delightful and unexpected.
