Yugen

Young captures moments of transcendent beauty." --New York Times

"Young's beautiful collages have an almost 3-D effect and perfectly complement the spiritual, lyrical text.... this is a book to be savored and contemplated ..." --School Library Journal

"Reibstein and Young have created a magnificent offering that is the embodiment of Wabi Sabi... Remarkably, the well-paced story is also ethereal, bringing readers, like its protagonist, to the edge of comprehension, then letting them absorb all that has come before to make their own connections. In this endeavor, the text is aided by Young's amazing collages. So lifelike are they that children will reach out to touch, and then touch again, not quite believing the art is one-dimensional... A glorious piece of bookmaking whose subject and execution will reach a wide age range." --Booklist, starred review"
