After his father’s death, a boy finds an envelope left behind by his father. He hoped it would be a letter or a special advice but instead, it was a map beckoning him to go back to the familiar woods with trails of shared memories. He sets off along the known terrain, this time alone, and reaches the spot marked on the map. There, in a rusted metal box, he finds a sheaf of papers, filled with page after page of drawings made by his father when he was the boy’s age. And in these drawings, the boy discovers his father once again…

The story of the making of the book is equally emotional, making it even more meaningful! Book releases on 12 September 2023.
