A boy named Isamu walks and wonders...
How does fruit get its color?
Why does cloth feel soft?
What do stones say?

Years Later, Isamu Noguchi will become an artist, famous for his stone sculptures and delicate paper lanterns.  

But here he is as a boy, exploring the magic of the world around him as children do.

Theodor Seuss Geisel award winner James Yang imagines Noguchi's early artistic inspiration and the gifts nature gives us...so that the next time you walk through the woods, you can hear the stones whisper, too.
