PLEASE COME TO ME, SHEEP
by Yoko Ikenoya
A little girl visited a stock farm one day with her
father. She saw the sheep wishing to give them a
pat. Their coat seemed so soft and fluffy. “Please
come to me.” she called out approaching them.
But what do you know, all of them turned around
and walked away from her.
She squatted down wondering what she had done
wrong when one sheep looked her in the eye. It
came closer to her and……?
CAMELLIA, A RESTAURANT FOR BIRDS
by Mari Otaguro
One cold winter day, the camellias came into
bloom. Now here we are, the Camellias’ Restaurant is open! There’s only one dish on the menu,
delicious nectar that is. Little birds and big birds
arrive chirping merrily.
Another camellia comes into bloom shortly after a
snowfall. Now there are two restaurants next to
each other. A mischievous boy samples some nectar,
too, promising not to tell others, as the restaurant was exclusively for birds! *TWN
A SPRING WALK IN MUDDY
FIELDS
by Nobuko Akashi
“Get your rubber boots on.” Grandpa calls. And
off they are to the fields. Spring has come. The soil
is showing now. The boy steps on the mud, then
the slushy mud. What a feeling! Listen to those
sounds! He walks foot by foot on the lingering
snow making crunching sounds. Splashing puddles and standing on dry grass barefooted, he feels
the long-awaited spring is there under his feet.
SHOW ME YOUR BELLY,
PLEASE!
A HUNGRY BUTTERFLY IN
THE SUMMER FOREST
Let’s take a look at the side we usually don’t see:
the belly-side of some creatures. It starts with a
ladybug. She has a beautiful red-colored back, but
her belly? Well, it is pitch black! So we go around
asking some creatures to show us their bellies.
Bellies are delicate, therefore we have to be ever so
gentle with them. Wouldn’t it be fun to find surprises?
In the dense green of a summer forest, a sweetand-sour aroma was in the air. A hungry butterfly
fluttered to locate the source. Soon enough it
found the spot. It was the smell of sap! Already
thronged with visitors, there was no space to get
in. It carried on to the next spot which was also
crowded. Even a fight started in front of his eyes.
Will the poor butterfly get any sap?
PLAY WITH A STRAW IN
THE BATH
MYSTERY OF MT. SAW
Here is one of the things most children adore; playing with a straw! They do it all the time with their
drinks. Blowing into it and spilling the contents,
sounds familiar? How would it be if we did it in the
bath? A little girl rushes to the bathroom and her
baby brother follows. With all their hearts, they
play with a straw blowing bubbles, inflating them,
connecting them, experimenting and giggling.
Mt. Saw was a grand mountain with four zigzags
on the summit, hence the name. The skirts spread
out gracefully. My brother and I adored this mountain. One day we drove to our cousin’s. My brother
was the first to spot the strange change. Mt. Saw
now only had three zigzags. The car continued and
eventually she lost all of her zigzags. No ‘saw’ on
the summit anymore! How could that be?

HELLO, SEE YOU TOMORROW
by Kazuko Shimazu
by Yuko Onari

Dragonflies are aquatic when they are young. The
larva comes out of the water to emerge and becomes mature in the fullness of time. It chooses a

his fields before working. “Hello.” he says and the
girl follows suit. She spots a round, smooth rock
and greets it, then some ants, some wood louses, a
lizard and a grasshopper, all her new friends appear. As the dusk closes in, she asks the rock if it
might want to come for a sleep over. They return
together calling out “See you all tomorrow!”
TURNING ON A FLASHLIGHT
by Akiko Miyakoshi
I’ m not afraid of the dark because I have something special! A little boy holds out his flashlight
waking his brother to explore the obscurity.
Doesn’ t the room look so different from the day
time? The round-shaped light illuminates the
things in the room. Wriggle the flashlight and the
shadows dance! What about our yard from the
window? Will this beam reach the stars?

around in joy. Have you ever been to the zoo on a

the same as ‘time’, in the sense of what our hearts feel.
We’ll find out how differently time flows and why that is.

THE SPIRIT OF ARTS
MESSAGE FROM THE REMINISCENCES
OF PICTURE BOOKS
by Masako Yamaguchi
illustrated by Komako Sakai
As an adult, it is quite difficult to understand how our children accept the picture books we read them. Through five years of research,
the author discovers that even though we think we don’t remember
the picture books read to us, some are, in fact, tucked deep inside
our memories. Sometimes the vivid illustrations or perhaps a certain
phrase suddenly captures our memory. The interesting study covers
this topic from various angles and plenty of examples.
