Field of Wonder
by Rie Muranaka
illus. by Eriko Ishikawa
Elementary school student Eri moves to rural Yamaguchi and, on the advice of her grandpa, starts to cultivate a tiny field. There she discovers hardy weeds, hairy caterpillars, and web-spinning spiders. Seeing nature untamed makes a big impression on city girl Eri, and she writes to her childhood friend, Emi, about her new life. Their correspondence turns to ways to help another friend, Ken-chan, who is struggling with anxiety. A thoughtful novel for young readers by an award-winning children’s author.
