It has been reprinted 16 times in Japan, and many mothers who have read the picture book have expressed their sympathy.
This is a picture book that conveys the feelings of parents, which cannot be conveyed just by thinking about them, and conveys them to children. (Female in her 30s)
If I hadn’t become a mother, I wouldn’t have been able to notice this warmth. Purity. Thanks to my children, I feel so calm and pure. It’s a wonderful book that reminds you of such important things. (Female in her 30s)
Studying, tidying up, succeeding… There are various desires and expectations for children, but in the end, what a mother just thinks is actually something like this. It’s a cute and gentle picture book that takes the strength off your shoulders. (Female in her 30s) I’ve been working hard every day since my child was born until now, but I thought that this book was packed with things that I couldn’t quite say. (Female in her 40s)
While reading, the moment when my chest becomes full again and again. . . Yeah, I always feel like this too. I’m sure I’m not the only mom who thinks so. (Female in her 40s)
It’s a gentle and heart-warming picture book, so it’s also recommended as a gift for family and loved ones.
