New Book!

"Sun and Moon have a tea party"

It's the book birthday!! 

🎂📚🎉

Sun and Moon see the world very differently. 

Sun thinks that children go to school, 

but Moon is sure that children go to sleep. 

Sun thinks that birds fly high in the sky, 

but Moon says that birds snuggle in their nests.

So who's right? 

It's the story about how to understand 

someone else's point of view.

(My friend Kai, reading the book) 

Hope you enjoy!!

Summer Readings

It's been a lot of time spending in the park

during this pandemic.

I am making summer reading list today.

Hope the libraries and book stores 

will be open soon...

Japanese Calligraphy Meditation

Sometimes I want to drop everything in my hands,

sit still and practice traditional Japanese calligraphy.

It cleans up my scattered thoughts and empties my head.

First YouTube post!

I visit school in greater New York area normally for book readings. But sometimes other activity comes up and I try new. This was one of those experiences. I was invited to participate in an interesting after school art program.  I had so much fun with the director Catherine Shaw from Shadow Box Theater,  her students (3rd graders at PS120) and their parents. I made a short video clip of the precious experience with them to share. Sorry, I don't have  good skill to edit the video. But I hope you get a bit of feeling and enjoy it :) Thank you for watching!
