To Parents
Wealth of fun and enjoyable experiences as children will empower them as they go through life.
Through "PeKay's Little Author," my desire and wish is to deliver to children deep enjoyment, and to help develop sense of trust, confidence and pride.
Storybooks nourish the mind.
It is my hope that the joy of creating one's own storybook will help nurture children's ability to create and care to live a richer life.
On January 17, 1995, Kobe where I live was hit by a big earthquake known as the Great Hanshin Earthquake. The streets were pitch-dark. As I was riding a bus going through the streets cut open by wrath of earth and staring at the town that had been completely ruined, I was overtaken by a sense of loss.
However, immediately after that, some feeling of confidence that "everything is going to be OK" began to flow to my gut like spring water. It was totally unexpected and groundless to think "everything is going to be OK," so I wondered where it came from.
I've come to recognize that it was the tangible and intangible love that I had received from my parents growing up. Childhood filled with love is deeply rooted, and helps me to think positively about myself, to trust others, and to believe in the future and think "everything is going to be OK." It's not apparent all the time, but, when I face life's most difficult challenges, it is there to support me. And I am deeply thankful.
Childhood filled with love, fun, and joy nurtures zest for living.
Creating a storybook is high quality enjoyment, particularly when the children can share this experience with their loved ones. My inspiration for creating the "PeKay's Little Author" was the strong desire to contribute, however small, to provide a sense of "everything is going to be OK" for the children of the future around the world.
