When he is born, Hīznobyūtī is not exactly handsome. He hides himself away from other people, until one day he receives a message from the stars and embarks on a beautiful adventure. Through his travels, he learns the secrets of the universe: how to communicate with trees and birds, how to wake up the sun, and how to see himself for who he truly is.
Elsewhere Editions is a children’s imprint from Archipelago Books, devoted to translating imaginative picture books from around the world. We hope that these titles will enrich children’s imaginations and cultivate curiosity about other cultures, as well as delight with their humor, art, and playful spirit.
