He climbs to the summit of a mountain and views the sunrise while drinking a cup of hot chocolate. Instead of physically setting out for one place or another, Kuma-Kuma travels freely all over the world--inside his head. Once again, Kuma-Kuma Chan charms as he exemplifies the joy of a simple, peaceful life. With its spare text and delightful illustrations, this small-format picture book invites readers to explore their own imaginations and create their own travels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68010220912863,"sku":"9781940842592","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/w18EVCc6PP9781940842592.webp?v=1791993097"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/kazue-takahashi.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
