ORIE

delicate illustrations and text that portray childhood and value memory and the simplest and most memorable moments
Inspired by the memories of the award-winning author's grandmother, this beautiful book tells the story of the girl Orie who travels along the river with her boatman parents. The girl looks at the movement of the waters, the bamboo oar that comes and goes, the fish, the smells and colors from near and far... And in the balance of words and drawings, Orie discovers the world that surrounds her.
