Golden Threads is a beautifully illustrated and surprisingly bittersweet story about imperfection and the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi. Due out 15th April 2020 from Owlkids Books, it's 32 pages and will be available in hardcover format.
This is a wonderfully illustrated sweet story about growing up and sustainability and repairing and breathing new life into the things which give us joy. The fabric and paper collage illustrations by Miki Sato are beautifully subtle, engaging and colorful. The text by Suzanne Del Rizzo is simple enough to be understood by very young children and is a perfect accompaniment to the pictures.
This is a lovely book and would be appropriate for all ages. It would make a nice gift for any youngster, a good library or classroom book, and a superlative read-to-me book.
Five stars. Beautiful and touching.
