Haneru Sato became a rabbit one day. One day, while watering the garden, he imagines where the water comes from. While washing the laundry he imagines he's a ship and the grass is the ocean. He imagines catching stars during a meteor shower, which helps to light the moonless nights. His watermelon becomes a watermelon boat, he explores a luminous puddle and finds a window to the sky.
Many more adventures are in store for Sato the Rabbit in this delightful picture book. I loved the illustrations - the text is interactive so we follow a hose into the forest to see the pond blowing water into the hose. There's a page turn between the real and imaginary, giving the reader a moment to imagine for themselves. So many things can be imagined with a pair of walnut halves, or colored ice. A delightful read.
