Paper Boat, Paper Bird

by David Almond

As Mina watches the woman’s hands work, folding and shaping a paper bird with quiet precision, she’s drawn into a world of imagination. What would it feel like to be folded, creased, and transformed—into a paper version of herself? In that moment, the bustling crowds and the streets of Kyoto fade away, and Mina steps into a delicate world of possibility, where paper and dreams intertwine.
