Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In a small garden near the great city of Beijing, five peas rest patiently in the same shell. As the peas grow, so do their dreams. One pea longs to fly to the sun and another to the moon. Two more hope to dine with the emperor. But it is the smallest pea whose journey transforms the life of a mother and daughter. Exquisite paintings on rice paper and eloquent retelling bring together Eastern and Western traditions and lend new meaning to a familiar story.
Based on the Hans Christian Andersen story: Five peas in a pod.
In a garden near Beijing, five peas in a shell grow and wait to discover what fate has in store for them.
