Little folk hidden in the human world
They are only three to six centimetres tall, with no wings and no magic. What they have is clever hands and a family that looks after each other.
Tiny folk a few centimetres tall live in a city park, making do with what people leave behind, on the same clock as us.

Found things are treasure
A loose thread ties down a roof, a bottle cap becomes a garden, a fallen leaf keeps off the rain. They mend what they find before they use it, so every object gets a second life.
They hide from most people
To them a footstep is an earthquake, and one curious hand could wreck their whole home. So they never let anyone know where they really live.
They have one human friend, the MiniShomi editor, who brings their story to us.
Living alongside us
Their time moves with ours. When it rains in Taipei, they get wet too; on holidays they miss certain flavours as well. Nobody has written the ending; every day is new.
