Staring Hard
by Shinichi Nakayama
A little boy presses his cheek to the school corridor window, staring intently outside. What has captured his gaze? Turn the page, and a plane streaks across the bright sky, sketching white lines in the clouds. This picture book gently alternates between the boy and the world he observes, revealing how everyday scenes can hold hidden surprises and shining moments if we look closely. With soft, inviting illustrations, acclaimed illustrator Shinichi Nakayama celebrates the quiet wonder of ordinary days.
