And</i><br><i> That is all she says.</i></i> <p/> 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. <p/> 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. <p/> A <i>New York Times</i> Best Illustrated Children's Book for 2008!<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Mark Reibstein</b> is an English teacher and writer who has lived in New York, California, Hawaii, Japan, and Thailand.
