[About the Product]
— Nostalgic and Rich Natural Scenery, and the Days of a Boy and a Japanese White-eye—
Michio, an elementary school student living in a small mountain village, becomes captivated by the elegant appearance and chirping of a Japanese white-eye one day, and begins to research its ecology. Through the Japanese white-eye, Michio grows significantly both mentally and physically, living life with strength. He learns about the suffering of war from an old man he meets, and the preciousness of life from Daisuke, who suffers from an incurable illness. This heartwarming story, depicted with a sense of nostalgia, follows the ecology of the Japanese white-eye and the growth of a boy, highlighting the instinctive strength of parent birds protecting their young, their clever wisdom for survival, and the strong bond between mates.

[Publisher's Comment]
This book carefully depicts things we once experienced and have forgotten with age, such as conflicts with parents, the fluctuating hearts of children, and the important things brought about by encounters, all within the time spent with Japanese white-eyes. It is a book filled with themes that we should reconsider now, such as life itself and the relationship between humans and nature.
