こんにちは。
今日は絵本に関するお知らせです。
シビアな状況ながら、沢山の面白くて可笑しい動物や人物が次々に現れ、前半はワクワクする内容です。悲しいお話では有りますが、ソーンダースさんが自身との闘いの中から本当に大変な状況に置かれた時に、どのような心を持って乗り切っていったら?とそっと道を示してくれるような、多くのプレゼントが詰まっている本でも有ります。
Hi there, I’d like to make an announcement.Today I would like to make an announcement about a picture book.The people at Society of Torch , who translated and published the novel Anything But a Dog (Elizabeth and her miracle dog Riley) into Japanese, asked me if I would be interested in doing a picture book to make it more accessible to people in hospitals, libraries and schools. This time I decided to be in charge of the illustrations.The novel is based on a true story, written by Lisa Saunders, who had a child born with birth defects caused by a mother-to-child infection with cytomegalovirus.
The first half of the book is exciting, with lots of interesting and funny animals and characters, despite the grim circumstances. The first half of the book is exciting, and the second half is sad, but Saunders’ struggle with herself shows us what kind of heart to have when you are in a really tough situation. It’s a book full of gifts that will gently show you the way.The picture book has a different approach from the original novel, and we aim to create a picture book that will remain in people’s hearts for a long time. We hope that many people will pick up the book and learn about the disease and how to prevent it from spreading, so that fewer mothers and children will suffer the same sadness, and so that we can become a kind society where everyone can help each other. This is the wish of the team.
We are looking for supporters for this project and are holding a crowdfunding campaign until 25th April. We have some great deals that are much cheaper than buying the book after it goes on sale, so please have a look. Thank you very much for your support!
