"14 Forest Mice" is a very popular book series in Japan and many European countries about the beauty of everyday life and the life of three generations of a mouse family: grandma, grandpa, mom, dad, and a dozen more mice. Immediately after their release in 2017, the books in the series became bestsellers of the Samokat publishing house.
A family of mice is playing hide-and-seek in a bright autumn forest - it's easy to hide under the leaves, behind stumps, between branches. But now everyone has been found, but where is Six? In search of the baby, the mice go deeper and deeper into the forest and become witnesses of an amazing spectacle - an autumn parade of colorful mushrooms, fruits, berries. The names and sketches of different types of mushrooms can be found on the endpapers of the book, and then you yourself set off in search of mushroom treasures in the forest!
Iwamura's books are reminiscent of miniature dollhouses; you want to examine and touch every detail, and every little event is filled with truly Japanese philosophy and admiration for life in every moment.
