Arvo embarks on his first journey alone: crossing the city, taking a train, and visiting his grandmother, following a map drawn by his father. But along the way, looking outside, that map multiplies: it becomes the path of migratory birds, rivers, letters, the food that reaches our tables, and even the Earth's movement around the Sun. Neil Packer (Everywhere, Everywhere, Camelozampa) recounts a seemingly small journey that opens up, table after table, onto infinite other invisible journeys, within and around us. A book that teaches us to look beyond our own window and discover how many stories are moving, without us realizing it, everywhere around us.
