Overview

This book introduces a story about lettuce produced stitch by stitch.

Book Intro

Surrounded by a low stone wall, there is a small vegetable garden. A child wearing red boots comes to the garden to sprinkle lettuce seeds. A person with experience sprinkling lettuce seeds would know how lightly they flutter in the air. Soon, the seeds sprout and the sprouts grow in the wind, rain, and sunshine. The child wearing red boots waters them and weeds out the lettuce that starts to jam-pack the garden. Now it’s time to eat the full-grown lettuce by having meat and raw fish wrapped in lettuce. This picture book lets readers take time to look into the lettuce, which they may have paid little attention to before. The various expressions of the lettuce and its soft green leaves look fresh and lively. The small garden inside the stone wall and the red boots are absolutely lovely. The sequence of growing lettuce in the garden happens naturally as time goes by, but in the world created by the needlework of the author, those ordinary events feel extraordinarily tender. The power of having us discover the beauty of the world radiates from the book.

The story of the lettuce is not finished. It seems that every leaf of lettuce has been eaten. And now, the lettuce that has grown from the seeds thrown outside the stone wall are in blossom. The flowers become seeds. The child gathers them to send half to the uncle who lives far away and keep the other half. For the children who are reading the book. The open hand of the child offering readers the lettuce seeds starts another story. After finishing the book, readers stand in front of a new story of their own. What would it be like?

The pages of the book are flat and smooth when you actually touch them, but they begin to play tricks on your senses and strange textures begin to be felt. It is because the details are delicately expressed with the fabrics. The stone wall is represented with rough and rugged cloth, the blazing sun with wool, and the cool puddle with a mesh cloth. The main character lettuce is expressed with green fabrics. As it grows, the shapes and colors become mature. Lettuce Seeds is a picture book to please your eyes, rather than require your thoughts, a lovely picture book that you would want to look into repeatedly.
