As little ghost Knigi reaches the age when human children learn to read, their ancestors present them with a special gift on their birthnight – a book. But something is wrong: the book is completely blank, nothing but white pages. Determined to solve the mystery, Knigi sets out on a whimsical journey to discover the magic of reading. Knigi's tale celebrates curiosity, creativity, and the power of imagination.
