Recent Events for Children
As I was working on a new picture book for the first part of the year with many small characters made from light clay spread throughout my home I didn't have the chance to hold many events but on the afternoon of Wednesday 18th March I did read some stories in English at the main library in Koganei.
The children are part of a group that are used to regular book-readings at the library but it was the first time for them to experience a reading session in English.
I read "Good Evening, Dear Moon", "Blue Mouse, Yellow Mouse", "Little Mouse's Red Vest" and "Broom Zoom Choo Woo". I had a great time with such a responsive group of children who made me read far more books than I had originally planned!
On Sunday 12th April from 13:00-14:00 I held an Easter and spring event for young children (from the age of 3) at Obaachan no Tamatebako book and toy store in Kichijoji. Activities included stories, games, songs, a simple craft activity and the always-popular egg-hunt.
I have a book reading planned for 26th July in Maruzen, Marunouchi branch book store and a book reading event and seminar for teachers on 1st August. Please see Upcoming events for more details:
