Mori's older sister Memen talks to him about some really important things. When he accidentally breaks a plate, she talks about doing good things in your life and making choices because you can. When they build a snowman, Mori hears a story about a dirty snowman who wishes to be a photographer. And finally, Mori learns about perspective when they watch a boring movie.
Memen to Mori is a sweet story. I loved the life lessons - Memen is wise. The page count reflects a longer book than it is - it's a large-format book with fun pictures and not a lot of text. I can see a new reader quickly able to read this on their own. I also loved the simple illustrations. I hope the readers try to draw the characters themselves. Originally published in Japan, the assumption is that the characters are Japanese, but there is nothing cultural or stated that says so.
