Healing Infirmary🌸 | "Puddles of the Heart" has become a printed picture book.

Hello, I am Pö♡nii🕊️

🐰🦉At the Healing Infirmary,
we deliver stories that gently let your heart rest.

I have an announcement to make this time.

Healing Infirmary🐱🌸
The Story of Puddles of the Heart♡

has become a printed picture book.

Here, I would like to talk about the reasons why I decided to make a printed picture book and the personal experiences I poured into this story🕊️

🌿 Thoughts on "Puddles of the Heart"

For a long time, it was natural for me to smile and say "I'm fine" even when I was hurt.


"There are people who have it worse."
"It's fine if I just endure it."


By doing that, putting my own feelings on the back burner became a habit before I knew it.

Even if I thought I had overcome things in the moment, there were times when wounds remained in my heart little by little.


I created this story by layering those wounds with "puddles of the heart."

🕊️ My "Puddles of the Heart"

After stopping in my tracks, I finally had the time to slowly look back at my own heart.

What I realized there was that

it wasn't just the big events, but also the small instances of endurance and sadness that had remained in my heart all along.

The times I smiled even though I was actually sad.

The times I said "I'm fine" even though I was suffering.

The times I worked hard but no one noticed.

Each one of those things had created a small puddle inside my heart.

Even though the rain had stopped, water still remained in my heart.

That was the feeling I had.

That is why I wanted to convey this through this picture book.

You don't have to pretend that your hurts never happened.
You don't have to force yourself to smile.
It's okay if you can't feel better right away.


I wanted to deliver these words to those who are still working hard and enduring.

🌸 The reason I made it into a printed picture book

On social media, many people read "Puddles of the Heart."

"It brought me to tears."
"This was the picture book I needed right now."

Every time I received such words, my desire to leave it behind as a book you can hold in your hands grew stronger.


Taking it off the bookshelf on a tired day and slowly turning the pages.


I hope it can become a picture book that delivers that kind of time to you.

Wishing for that, I brought it into this form.

💌 Closing

I would be happy if this picture book could gently deliver a soft light to someone's puddle of the heart.

May it become like a small charm that you can return to again and again on days when you feel tired.🕊️🌼
