Description

Between Words: A Friendship Tale by Saki Tanaka is a touching story of friendship and discovery. Kai is used to following the seasons with Pa, moving from place to new place where languages sound unfamiliar to his ears. When they finally settle in a valley full of pools, Kai attempts to invite the other children to join in his play. However, the strangeness of his words pushes them away.

Frustrated, he kicks his most treasured stone into one of the pools. In his search for it, he finds something even more valuable. Dive into this whimsical tale of unexpected friendship, told with compassion and warmth. With every brushstroke, Saki Tanaka paints a radiant world where bonds are formed beyond language barriers.

About the Author

Saki Tanaka is a Mexican-Japanese author-illustrator who grew up in different parts of the world. This transient upbringing made her foster friendships without a common language in imaginative ways; through gestured games, mimed plays, and drawings that transcended words and worlds to give her a sense of belonging. You can now find Saki in Denver, Colorado, inspired by aspen-inhabited mountains and vaporwave skies. When she's not painting new portals to magical realms, she's connecting with other dreamers through a shared affinity for synchronicities, tear-inducing guffaws, and spontaneous dance parties. She'd love to hear how you spark connections with kindred spirits. Visit her at sakitales.com and let her know!
