The award-winning and New York Times bestselling book about a cat named Wabi Sabi who searches for the meaning of her name Wabi Sabi, a little cat in Kyoto, Japan, had never thought much about her name until friends visiting from another land asked her owner what it meant. At last, the master says, "That's hard to explain." AndThat is all she says. This unsatisfying answer sets Wabi Sabi on a journey to uncover the meaning of her name, and on the way discovers what wabi sabi is: a Japanese philosophy of seeing beauty in simplicity, the ordinary, and the imperfect. Using spare text and haiku, Mark Reibstein weaves an extraordinary story about finding real beauty in unexpected places. Caldecott Medal-winning artist Ed Young complements the lyrical text with breathtaking collages. Together, they illustrate the unique world view that is wabi sabi.

If your child loves FGTEEV, this book is a MUST HAVE!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Our 8 yr old has been an FGTeeV fan since he was 3!
And as a mother of boys that love YouTube, I can say that this channel/family is just all around awesome. I love how family orientated they are, you can feel the love & respect they have for each other.
They’re not as annoying for us parents as some of the other channels (if you know, you know!)
So when our son wants a book, we buy it! He has the whole collection now! He rereads them all the time.
We also have the activity book on preorder.
The books are all set up in comic style. So when our son was learning how to read, this made it entertaining for him & easy to digest.
There’s a lot of lingo that is based off of FGTeeV’s YouTube channel.
I can’t tell you what they’re about, but our son is constantly entertained & proud to show us what is going on in the books.
The graphics are a great representation of the family, who are the main characters on YouTube channel & the book… including the dog Oreo!
I wish more YouTubers focused on books like this for children. It’s great way to get them off the iPad & get their brains & imagination running!
