I have published my first picture book. "Rather than someone else's wonderful, I choose what I like"
Hello.
I have recently published my first picture book.
The title is “Rather than someone else's wonderful, I choose what I like” .
I wanted to deliver kindness.
I wanted to support small moments of "being yourself."
And I wanted to gently light a warm flame in the hearts of those who read it.
This picture book was born from those feelings.
The inspiration behind creating a picture book
Originally, I was neither good at drawing nor confident in my writing.
“Can I really do this?”
“Who would even read this?”
I was filled with such anxieties.
But then, it suddenly occurred to me.
“It doesn't have to be perfect. If it can reach even just one person with kindness, that is enough.”
From then on, I began to shape the small world within me into a picture book, nurturing it with great care.
“Rather than someone else's wonderful, I choose what I like” is a story like this
The protagonists are Tina, a girl who loves fashion, and Noah, a black cat.
In a world that unfolds from a magical closet, the two encounter all sorts of "cute" things.
But Tina realizes something.
That "cute things praised by others" and "things I truly find cute" are a little different.
It is a story about encountering various wonderful things until you find the most important thing: "what I like."
Who I want to reach with this picture book
To everyone who wants to learn to love themselves.
To those who want to accept themselves as they are.
And to you, who are doing your best every day.
Picture books are not just for children.
In fact, I believe that now that we are adults, there are times when we need words that can gently soak into our hearts.
[A sneak peek at the opening page]
In Tina's room, there is one secret. It is a magic closet she received from her mom. "You can become anyone you want. You can find any kind of cuteness."
She has cherished it along with those words.

Finally
I hope this picture book can become a small resting place for someone's heart somewhere.
"A spoonful of kindness for your busy daily life"
I created it with that thought in mind.
I hope it serves as a spark for you or your child who read it to find even a little bit of "what I like".
With heartfelt gratitude.
