Shogakukan Children Publishing Culture Award
見えなくなったクロ (偕成社文庫)
Mienakunatta Kuro is a children's story by Makoto Oishi. Through a child's relationship with a familiar animal, it gently portrays how a young person faces loss and unease and begins to name those feelings.
Work Information
Even when Kuro can no longer be seen, their time together remains in the child's heart.
The award-winning work is confirmed in a Kaiseisha Bunko edition. Using an incident around an animal as its entry point, it lets young readers encounter absence and parting in everyday life without overexplaining them.
Review Summaries
-
Readers respond to the plain style and the close attention to a child's feelings. The way grief is approached through the bond with a dog gives the story a warmth typical of children's literature.
