Off to the Mountains / Off to the Sea
by Taro Miura
In this charming picture book, a boy embarks on a journey with his family in a white car to the seaside town where his father was born. They travel past farms, rice paddies, and a bustling town, finally crossing a large bridge to glimpse a lighthouse!
There’s also another protagonist: if you read the book backwards, you’ll find a girl on a journey in a red car to visit her grandparents, where her mother was born, at the foot of the mountains. The stunning illustrations and diary-style narration capture the beautiful scenery along the way.
