Climb Over
KOBI YAMADA is a best-selling author. In his new book, Others, two boys stand at a tall hedge. It divides them from the people on the other side. The people are unfamiliar. One boy imagines how different they must be. The other questions these thoughts. Eventually, he climbs over to see for himself.
Yamada thinks it’s good to be curious about the unfamiliar. We risk losing “a lot of really great things by not being curious,” he told TFK. And we risk making assumptions about others. The book is about “trying to find those connections [that] bring us a little bit closer together.”
