Connecting Brazil and Mental Activity: The Life Themes Infused into My Four Commercial Publications

I live in São Paulo, translate and publish Brazilian picture books and stories, and
at the same time, I share a zero-to-one mindset for self-actualization that allows you to live with ease.

The life theme of my own that connects these two activities is
“Living while cherishing yourself.”

I will talk about the background of how I infused this sentiment into my four commercial publications to date.

1.
“Fritzi's Journey of Mysterious Colors”

Feeling the identity crisis of children in the field of international understanding education,
I flew to Brazil and negotiated the copyright directly on my own.

◇ A protagonist who is a child without friends
◇ Identity is the theme

For children and adults who feel alienated

↑ In Aichi Prefecture, where many Brazilians live, the phones were flooded.
2,000 advance orders on the day the article was published

2.
“Naughty Marquinhos”

Published by Say-zan-sha, the publisher of Harry Potter.

Like the previous work, it was displayed on bookstore tables after a press conference at the Brazilian Embassy.

◇ The importance of embracing yourself

I was invited to various events.

Gunma Prefecture, Tokyo, and Yokohama.

3.“My Sweet Orange Tree
”

Published by Poplar Publishing.

The protagonist is a five-year-old child.

4.
“The Crocodile and the Seven Ducklings”

Published after receiving an offer from Shueisha World Library.

who challenge a crocodile's evil plot.

　to never forget your sense of mischief, no matter what.
