The Crow And The Cherry Blossom is a poetic 36-page picture book about a fleeting yet profound friendship between a little crow and a late-blooming cherry blossom.

​

The story is informed by an untranslatable Japanese term mono-no-aware, which captures the bittersweet realisation of the impermanence of life.
