A collection combining folktale-like narration with the sensibility of modern children's literature. Through grounded voices and small events, children encounter the world's strangeness and pain.

Stories scented with earth open the world through a child's gaze.

A children's novel that overlays the bond between mother and child with the flow of a river. While carrying hardship and the hint of separation, it quietly observes family ties and a child's growth.

The river flows, and the time of mother and child continues as it changes.

A poetry collection by Akiko Takagi. In plain language accessible to children, it uses the fable-like figure of a king to explore boredom, imagination, and the desire for freedom.

Around the bored king, imagination opens small doors.
