Return to the Most
Beautiful Village in the World by Yutaka Kobayashi is a new delicate, tender children's book published by Museyon.
Since he left his small village, Paghman, located in Afghanistan, Mirado with the circus where he worked in, visited many places, met wagons of people learning a lot. Sure, he was still missing his little village in Afghanistan where there were all the people he left behind but that he loved so badly. Plus the flute of his father started to become always more consumed.
The decision of returning home was saluted by the people of the circus with a big feast and celebration. The following days were particularly strong for Mirado. He walked and walked and walked meeting along the way generous, kind people in grade of helping him, giving good advices, or food, warm and some beverages.
Once arrived in the village, he searched immediately for known, friendly faces, recognizing at the same time, smells, colors of the town. But, look: no one he knew was around!
He started to sing an air with the new flute presented by a man and a woman he had met along the way. Many people, curious, watched this fabulous player, while his friend Yamo recognized immediately his friend! He was so happy to see him again! re-starting to walk along the life's path with him.
Beautiful, enchanting! Main thematic are familiar values, friendship, trip, the one symbolical of life, and the more practical, physical one; the return home means a vital part of our being.
Highly recommended to your children!
I thank Museyon for the copy of this book.
