From the author of The Boring Book, a New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book, comes a delightfully comical story about being a kid in an adult's world where so many things seem unfair!

Award-winning illustrator Emily Hughes offers a luminous picture book about the life of renowned Japanese American artist Isamu Noguchi. Isamu Noguchi is one of the most important sculptors of all time. His Akari lamps changed the way modern buildings light their space. But before he was important, he was a kid. This is his story.
