英語読み聞かせイベント Two summer events!
On Sunday 26th July I gave a reading of my new picture book "Stacy Strawberry" as well as "The Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle at the Marunouchi branch of Maruzen book store in Tokyo.
"Stacy Strawberry" is a simple story about a strawberry who wanted to be a pineapple...I made the artwork for the story by using light clay (紙粘土).
"Stacy Strawberry" is part of an introductory guide to reading English picture books to small children, 「英語の絵本読み聞かせスタートブック」, that has just been published by Cosmopier Publishing Company (well-known for the bi-monthly 多聴多読 magazine).

On 1st August Cosmopier held a book-reading event at the Japan Education Center 「日本教育館」 in Tokyo based on this publication. Setsuko Toyama-sensei and myself gave book-readings of picture books (with related fun activities) to children (and parents) and a seminar for teachers of English on the theme of using picture books in the classroom to teach English.
