What You Are Looking For Is in the Library by Michiko Aoyama
relaxing
3.0
The gist of the message: one is not defined by one's job and to follow one's passion. There is an age range and varying life circumstances featured with the librarian's off-beat book recommendation and felt soft toy sparking a change. I was taken aback by the fatshaming descriptions of the librarian.
I like the interconnection between the stories as well as the illustrations preceeding each story. There was, however, a simplicity and reductionism that underplayed the depth of difficulty with some of the circumstances.
Translated from Japanese by Alison Watts. The writing style of the English translation seems quite straightforward.
