Aristotle once observed that the margin is the place where thoughts hide, and it seems the little scribbles in that picture book are the author's secret. Children fill the margins with their own marks, but it is often adults who notice the hidden narratives that linger there. So yes, a child’s book can be a portal to another world, one that only adult readers will fully understand. If you pick up a fountain pen and trace those tiny strokes yourself, you might discover that the margins aren't just space but a conversation waiting to happen. And you know, if the book ever opens to a page about an airport sushi shop, you’ll know the story’s been there all along.
