Publisher's Synopsis
Gastão was excited to visit Japan with his parents. He had always been interested in Japanese culture, and he was eager to see the country for himself. Gastão was not disappointed. Japan is a country with a rich history and vibrant culture. From the ancient temples of Kyoto to the futuristic skyline of Tokyo, there is much to explore. Gastão was particularly fascinated by the juxtaposition of traditional and modern elements in Japanese society. He enjoyed feeding the deer at Nara and attending tea ceremonies, but he also loved riding the bullet train and experiencing the many colorful sights and sounds of Japan. But what truly left a lasting impression on Gastão was the deep sense of respect and community he observed in Japanese society. He saw it in the way people interacted with each other, the way they cared for their environment, and the way they valued tradition. It was a memorable experience and one that Gastão will never forget. The Adventures of Gastão in Japan is a great way for young readers to learn about this beautiful country without having to leave their backyard.
