The Snail

Written by Emily Hughes

Narrated by Greg Watanabe

There once was a snail
who lived in a shell,
and inside his shell,
the Snail created wonders.
This is the story of Isamu Noguchi, a Japanese American artist who gave the world
light. The world, however, was not always so giving in return.
This groundbreaking paean to Noguchi’s creativity explores his emotional
hardships through the US incarceration of Japanese Americans, the effects of
personal isolation, and the power of art to heal those wounds.
