This time, we've moved away from the umbrella story and chosen two picture books as "Messages to Give to Mom."
For mothers who are raising children, mothers who have finished raising their children, and everyone who cares about mothers.
"To my little one"
Text: Allison McGee Illustration: Peter Reynolds Translation: Nakagawa Chihiro Publisher: Shufu no Tomosha First edition: April 10, 2008
This book became a hot topic immediately after its publication, and is a best-seller that is synonymous with mothers!
From the moment she is born, a girl grows up little by little, spending each day in ordinary circumstances.
Every day, her mother watches over her, keeping her close by, but the girl grows strong regardless.
It's a story about one woman and a story of love that resonates over and over again.
"today"
Translated by Hiromi Ito, illustrated by Masakatsu Shimoda Publisher: Fukuinkan Shoten First edition: February 15, 2013
This is the first time I've heard of this picture book.
It seems to have been a hot topic on the Internet, so many people may already know about it.
I wish I had met him when I was raising my children.
And now, I would like to give it to mothers who are in the midst of raising children.
As long as you only focus on the things that are truly important, you'll be fine.
Cherish the irreplaceable time you have now while raising your children.
To mothers struggling to raise children , I hope you can take a breather and rest for a little while so that you can once again face your precious child.
To the mothers who have finished raising their children, thank you for all your hard work. May you once again confirm that love is woven in this way, and may your heart become even richer.
To all those who care for their mothers , may you look back on your life and feel surrounded by love.
May 14th is Mother's Day.
Komiya Shoten also offers gift wrapping for umbrellas.
We hope that each and every Mother's Day will be a heartwarming one, and we would be happy to help you make it a wonderful day.
