Esta historia es como una carta hermosa de amor a los libros.
Nos habla mucho sobre el poder de los libros, lo que nos hacen sentir y su importancia en nuestra vida. Lo hace contándonos como Rintaro en diferentes aventuras va a tener que cumplir la misión de salvar libros de las manos de personas que no los saben apreciar, como una persona que los encierra, otra los recorta y otra simplemente los venden.
Es un libro precioso, un poco lento al principio, pero que te recuerda porque te encanta leer y porque los libros son tesoros tan preciados para las personas que nos encanta leer.

I LOVEEE how wisely this book has been written, there is a lot of modern Japanese societal norms mentioned in it but also, it was definitely written by someone who loves books and there are some coats that I just loved so I'll be blunt and highlight them down below;
“Here at the world’s number one publishing company, we don’t publish books to inform or teach people. We print the books that society wants. We don’t care about issues such as messages that need to be imparted, or philosophy that needs to be handed down to the next generation. We don’t care about any harsh reality or difficult truths. Society isn’t interested in things like that. Publishers don’t need to worry about what they should be telling the world; they need to understand what the world wants to hear.”
“Your feelings about a book don’t determine its value. The number of copies in circulation does. In other words, in our society it is the banknote that is the arbiter of value.”
“Books teach us how to care about others.”
“Books are filled with human thoughts and feelings. People suffering, people who are sad or happy, laughing with joy. By reading their words and their stories, by experiencing them together, we learn about the hearts and minds of other people besides ourselves. Thanks to books, it’s possible to learn not only about the people around us every day, but people living in totally different worlds.”

Suddenly the cat spoke, “Books have a soul”
“A book that sits on a shelf is nothing but a bundle of paper. Unless it is opened, a book possessing great power an epic story is a mere scrap of paper. but a book that has been cherished and loved , filled with human thoughts has been endowed with a soul”. ~~Sōsuke Natsukawa “The Cat Who Saved Books
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I fell in love with this book as I continued through each page. A love letter to book lovers of all ages. I will be recommending this book to everyone I know who loves books as much as I do. 5/5 ⭐️ if that was not easy to figure out.
Not only did this story focus on Rintaro’s journey through his grief, but also his journey on finding courage and self-discovery. A reminder that friends are sometimes right in front of you if you just take the time to notice. And honestly, who wouldn’t want to go on an adventure to save books?!
