かみやしん かみやしん award

A children’s story collection centered on a boy, his sister with Down syndrome, and a family learning how to live with embarrassment, tenderness, and mutual care. Kamiya Shin’s illustrations give gentle visual shape to the small joy brought by the sister’s first pay packet.

ぼくのお姉さん conveys a central aspect of かみやしん’s work.
