The Phone Booth in Mr. Hirota's Garden

A young boy loses his voice and his father to a devastating tsunami, leaving him and his village engulfed in silence and grief. But when his neighbor, Mr. Hirota, builds a phone booth in his garden, the purpose of the mysterious structure becomes clear: it connects people to their lost loved ones. Inspired by a true story and the wind phone in Japan, this beautifully written tale explores the healing power of connection and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of tragedy.
