Children's magazine themed around spring migratory birds and vegetables. - Magazine Name: Chagrin - Issue Number: 5 - Year of Publication: 2025 - Special Features: Spring Migratory Birds: Swallows, Vegetable Snacks, Wonderful Wise Vegetable School ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ This children's magazine is recommended by the Japan PTA National Council. The October 2022 issue featured the "shrike" with its bird song, and delved into autumn eggplants. It included cooking methods and English. The magazine also clearly explains how to grow cilantro in a comic format, including how to eat it. The latter half of the magazine is filled with stories and comics. I think it is an excellent magazine for children's food education. ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Ie no Hikari JA (Agricultural Cooperative) Children's Magazine "Chagrin" is a magazine that conveys the importance of "life, nature, food, health, and agriculture." In 1964, the JA (Agricultural Cooperative) Group Ie no Hikari Association launched "Kodomo Ie no Hikari" as a monthly magazine for children of farmers, and later changed the name to "Kodomo no Hikari." Furthermore, in 1993, the 30th anniversary of its founding, the magazine solicited names from readers, and the current name "Chagrin" was born, combining the English words Child, Agriculture, and Green (nature). "Chagrin" is a book like this: We seriously consider children! "Chagrin" aims to be a children's magazine that directly addresses "children's issues," which are the most important social themes today, strongly advocating for the importance of "life, nature, food, and agriculture," and contributing to "next-generation measures" widely, including local communities and JA. By carefully selecting and publishing high-quality children's literature, children's art, and fun manga, we nurture children who love to read. We also focus on projects that are useful for "learning about food and agriculture." We aim to nurture children who are both strong and kind, and who are rich in emotion, covering both study and play. Is it a difficult book? "Chagrin" is neither a rigid magazine focused only on learning nor an entertainment magazine centered on manga. Targeting elementary school students who will lead the 21st century, it celebrates the wonder of living and emphasizes the "importance of life" with easy-to-understand pages. https://www.ienohikari.net/chagurin/chagurin Excerpt
