Hello, I am here!
It's been wow, half a year that I didn't show up here. Dear readers, are you still there?
I didn't write this long for some health and other personal reasons but it doesn't mean I stopped reading books with my son.
We are still in Japan. In the past months here I discovered and rediscovered many beautiful Japanese children's literature and foreign books translated in Japanese. These are just a few of many I got. We will take them all with us when we eventually return to Italy.
The way he reacts to books changed a lot, too. Now he picks his favourite books from the bookshelf and comes on my lap, asking me to read them aloud.

The other book he is addicted to is this yellow one you see on the floor. In this book readers can exercise with two penguins, a baby penguin and his mother. We got this book recommended by a librarian here, and he immediately fell in love with it. It's amazing that he actually imitates each move of the penguins; waving arms, putting up legs, and shaking buttocks. It's irresistibly cute.
It is my joy to see how he enjoys books, which is remarkably changed over the last few months.
We love reading together more than ever.
Alla prossima, ciao!
