The streets of Tokyo swarm below fifteen-year-old Copper as he gazes out into the city of his childhood. Struck by the thought of the infinite people whose lives play out alongside his own, he begins to wonder, how do you live?

Considering life's biggest questions for the first time, Copper turns to his dear uncle for heart-warming wisdom. As the old man guides the boy on a journey of philosophical discovery, a timeless tale unfolds, offering a poignant reflection on what it means to be human.

The favourite childhood book of Academy Award-winning anime master Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle), this beloved modern classic is a thought-provoking and uplifting tale about discovering what really matters in life.
