"Kocco-san's Friend" Ken Katayama Price: ¥900 The story warmly depicts Kocco-san, who is always alone at nursery school, meeting Ami-chan, who is also alone, and how they become friends by holding hands and grow closer. Kocco-san is shy, but through her interactions with her friend, she gradually grows and is able to play with other friends, which is also depicted. This picture book gives children who feel anxious about entering school or advancing to the next grade a positive feeling. Also, the author, Ken Katayama, used his own child as a model, and both the illustrations and the text are full of kindness. The target age is for young children, and it is well-regarded as a book that has a good influence on making friends and developing social skills. *********************************** There is a tear on one page (image 3).
