This is a short children's book that entails the legend behind the existence of the cherry blossom and the hard choices made by an old fisherman and his catch. This fantastic tale was spun by the imaginative mind of Andrew Marcinkowska to teach one of the basic principles of life from a combination of the Eastern Buddhist perspective and Western Theology as it covers the passing of life and the beauty of recreation, or simply said as the cycle of life. The Illustrations are pulled from the influence of ancient Japanese and Chinese artistic styles combined with the vibrant colors and vivid imagination of that of a child, and careful to give due credit to each. A fantastic read for those who like a tale that emphasizes wisdom and acceptance as a ultimate value for everyone to have, and a value that every child should know.:: From The Author:: A short children's picture book of a magical origin story for cherry blossoms told from an Eastern perspective. The story was first a hand written love letter to the author's then fiance, living in Taiwan. It is all very Zen.
