1 peopleLet Me Hear the Sound of the Wind is a linked short-story collection by Keiko Izumi with illustrations by Yoshiharu Suzuki. It delicately portrays a girl's wavering emotions, setting the anxieties and hopes of growing up against the presence of wind moving through everyday life.
Like listening for the wind, the book follows the tremors of a girl's heart.
