From a former nursery school director's picture book collection, we present a set of two books that cultivate independence and a sense of a fulfilling life. Both are masterpieces of high quality. ① "Yama no Take-chan" (written by Momoko Ishii) A masterpiece by Momoko Ishii, a leading figure in Japanese children's literature. This story warmly depicts the daily life of Take-chan, who lives in a house on a mountain. Along with the atmosphere of the good old Showa era, it conveys the strength of a child who thinks and acts for themselves. Currently, a rare book. ② "Pelle's New Suit" (written by Elsa Beskow) Set against the beautiful nature of Sweden, this story follows young Pelle as he works hard to make a new suit from his own sheep's wool, with the help of the adults around him. A beloved masterpiece worldwide, it teaches about "the process of making things" and "the joy of working." 【Recommended Points】 What these two books have in common is the healthy energy of children who want to "try it themselves!" and "want to be helpful to someone." This is a set of substantial masterpieces that we highly recommend you read with your children, especially during spring, when opportunities to try new things increase. 【Condition】 Both books have some yellowing and light soiling on the outside (covers, etc.), but the pages inside are clean, without any creases or tears, and can be read comfortably.
