About this work
On the way to the library, Iota is sure the bus she is riding is rolling backward, when it is the bus beside it that is moving forward. Embarrassed at being wrong, she wants to cross out her note, but Wong Nam asks her to write down what changed her mind. All along the way, with a bus stop sign, a bakery, closed eyes and an eraser, Iota hunts for the answer to a question that looks simple: how do we know something is moving? A warm story about motion, points of view and the courage to keep your own mistakes.
