Discover the inspiring story of legendary animator and co-founder of Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki.
Born in 1941 in Tokyo during World War II, young Hayao moved home many times with his family and grew up surrounded by the sights and sounds of a country at war. He loved nothing more than drawing, especially planes, ships and characters from his favourite manga stories. As he got older, he dreamed of creating his own films, and that dream eventually led him to help create Studio Ghibli.
Today, Miyazaki is known around the world for magical films like My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke. This book shows how his imagination, love of nature and belief in kindness shaped his animations, leading him to become one of the most beloved storytellers of all time. Young fans will be fascinated to discover the real life story of their favourite film maker.
