The little shrew is a diligent worker who follows a strict schedule from morning to evening. But even a life that runs like clockwork can contain unexpected moments of joy, such as when she solves her Rubik's Cube for the first time, enjoys the scent of freshly baked bread, admires the endless beauty of the shimmering blue ocean, or delights in a visit from friends. This small collection of three short stories—perfect for beginner readers—is illustrated in Miyakoshi's signature soft monochromatic color palette with splashes of color. The charming tales celebrate lasting friendships, dreams for the future, and the little joys that make everyday life more meaningful.
