Dan is the owner of a cafe living alone in a small town by the sea. Aki is a sailor on the sea always traveling from place to place. They both like their lives but they both feel so alone sometimes. Aki comes to Dan's cafe one night with other lovely people and much laughter, and their lives brush past each other. What did they learn and feel from each other?
Here & There is a very thoughtful story about home, travel, and the similarities between very different people. The text gave me a very lonely feeling. It could help children feel for other people's lives and situations. I liked the way the illustrations contrasted each man's life on the page layouts.
