Forget everything you think you know about how the world works because Yotsuba Koiwai is about to show you a version that is way more interesting. This pint-sized force of nature just moved into town with her eccentric dad, and her only mission is to turn every single day into the best day ever. The problem is that Yotsuba does not understand the most basic things—like how doorbells work, what air conditioners are for, or why you should not hunt your neighbors with a water gun—making every suburban errand a high stakes comedy of errors. Between her giant friend Jumbo and the three sisters living next door, Yotsuba has a lot of people to teach her the ropes, but usually, she is the one teaching the adults how to actually live. It is a masterclass in pure, unadulterated joy that will make you remember exactly what it felt like to be five years old and invincible. You will laugh until it hurts and then feel a warmth in your chest that stays long after you turn the final page.
