"Good evening, may I come in?"
Someone knocked on the door of Chirchir and Michir's house.
When Chirchir opened the door, an elderly woman with a bent waist entered.
"Excuse me, but do you have a blue bird in your house?"
The old woman blinked her eyes slowly and asked.
"I have a small bird, but it is not a blue bird."
When Chirchir replied, the old woman sighed.
"My sick daughter wants a blue bird.
If she had a blue bird, she would surely become happy. That's it!"
The old woman straightened her waist and said to Chirchir and Michir,
"Please go and find a blue bird for us."
This is "The Blue Bird," a famous work by Nobel Prize-winning author Maeterlinck.
From the beloved picture book series by Chihiro Iwasaki, which has continued to be loved across generations,
the particularly popular illustrated story "The Blue Bird" has been made into a cute-sized picture book with Naoko Nakuai's cover design.
The elegant Japanese language by fairy tale writer Erika Tachihara is perfect for reading aloud to young children.
Dogs Chiro and the cat Chiret also play active roles,
meeting each other,
familiar characters like the Sugar Fairy, the Light Fairy, children from the Land of the Future,
the happiness of looking up at the blue sky,
the happiness of a mother who loves her children...
The story is enjoyed over 47 pages.
It is a special book that you will want to keep close and occasionally gaze at.
