i read this for the release of the new Miyzaki film but honestly don't really feel like it's all that related. It was also sorta boring and not as insightful/inspiring as i thought it would be.

It follows a young boy in Japan growing up as he deals with the death of his father and growing apart from his best friend (who he's mean to). This is paired with letters from his Uncle, giving him guidance.

i think perhaps i am just not the demographic for this book and it would be insightful or good for a young kid/japanese boy.
