Christmas is a time of childish wonder and imagination, which is fitting considering that's the focus of the book we're reviewing today.
HANA-CHAN AND THE SHAPE OF THE WORLD (Hana-chan to, Sekai no Katachi), by Ryotaro Ueda. First published in 2018 and first published in North America in 2021.
PLOT:
In a small town somewhere in the Kansai countryside lives Hana and her friends. Their days are often spent wandering through the countryside as they try to tally the town's cats, get lost in a flood, or witness what happens in the middle of a typhoon.
