About

Shinsuke Yoshitake's happy magic is here! If you change your perspective, you will find more fun and possibilities. On the one hand, we hope to cultivate children's creativity and imagination, but on the other hand, we are afraid of breaking the established knowledge and life patterns. The good thing about Shinsuke Yoshitake's picture books is that they can let children's imaginations fly forward for a while, which is a kind of healing in itself. Shinsuke Yoshitake can always get into the heart of children, see the difficulty of growing up, and express the children's uneasiness, confusion, and helplessness in writing. At the same time, he does not avoid problems and uses his unique humor to help children solve problems.

I am an astronaut and my job is to explore different planets. This time, I came to a new planet. People here have three eyes and can see both the front and the back at the same time. The alien found that I only had two eyes and was surprised: "Can't you see your back? How do you walk?" On the planet of the three-eyed man, I became the "invisible" one... In fact, we Everyone is different. Some things can only be seen by tall people, and some things can only be discovered by short people; some things can only be done by people with many friends, and some things can only be understood by people who like to be alone; some things can only be understood by adults. There are some things that only children understand... When we meet people who are different from us, we get a little nervous. Don’t worry, as long as you chat with each other about your happiness and troubles, you will find that the other person’s world is very interesting!
