Translated by Ito Ogawa, author of "Shokudo Katatsumuri" and "Tsubaki Bungu-ten," this is a heartwarming picture book from China.
"It's okay. How could I ever forget you?"
She is a kind grandmother who has now forgotten many things.
However, I will never forget the day I went to pick corn with her.
The feelings of a girl who cherishes her grandmother, and the feelings of a grandmother who thinks of her grandchild. Across borders, all humans are the same.
In this work, which fantastically depicts memories of her beloved grandmother, who now has dementia and has forgotten everything, illustrator Shaoqiu Wan made her debut as a picture book author after winning a newcomer award.
The blue sky spreading over the summer cornfield.
Fantastical butterflies flying above the girl and her grandmother.
The twilight colors of the country town enveloping the path they walk home from the field together.
The beautiful illustrations, which will make you want to turn the pages again and again, are brought to you with a beautiful Japanese translation by Ito Ogawa, a popular author in China.
* A commemorative project for the 30th anniversary of exchange between China Children's Press & Publication Group and Kodansha.
* For independent reading, from lower elementary school grades.
