Walking through a dark forest, a young boy learns to treasure his memories and find his true path. Lost and alone, a young boy enters the forest not knowing the path that lies before him. He meets a figure called Emptiness who guides him on his way. Together they find keepsakes deep in the forest that trigger memories, both good and bad. As he moves closer to the sun-filled meadow on the other side of the forest, the boy learns that to be truly happy, he must embrace his past. A powerful tale about the importance of memories in the winding journey of life.
A ' deep, dark forest' becomes both setting and metaphor in this pensive picture book. ' I was searching for something, but did not know what, ' narrates a pale-skinned boy in a red cap, confessing to being lost. When he meets a giant ghostly figure named Emptiness, the sympathetic creature agrees to join the child' s search, and together they stumble upon objects--a pinwheel, a broken vase, a harmonica--that symbolize memories, fond and difficult alike. Li' s atmospheric watercolor, ink, and digital scenes hazily convey the forest through which the duo travel, lending the story a dreamy vibe. When the pair arrive at a lush meadow of pastel wildflowers, Emptiness, full of the objects they found, stays behind, explaining that the memories will always be there to guide the child now venturing forth--a soothing message for those in need of direction. --Publishers Weekly-- "Journal" (2/22/2022 12:00:00 AM)
