Aki and the Balcony
Aki is a happy and ever-curious four-year-old with big black eyes that seem to drink in everything around her.
From her balcony above the city she watches birds argue, butterflies drift between buildings, and a neighbour wave from across the green — and slowly the city becomes a story only she can read.
The debut title from Akico Studio — and the book where Aki, our little guide, first appears.

Talked about by
The rare picture book that makes a city feel as wild as a forest. Children point at every page.
Aki notices things the way four-year-olds actually do. My class asks for it by name.
Readers, reading
Third night in a row of “the balcony book”. The spread with the butterflies is pure magic. 🦋
Aki and the Balcony understands that to a kid, a pigeon two metres away IS an adventure.
