About this book

> Written and produced in Japan by Japanese author Aki Wakamatsu (Takikawa TOKOTOKO Kids LLC) — an authentic Japanese picture book, created in Japan, not a mass-produced import. 500 Japanese words of feelings and the heart — from ureshii (happy) and daisuki (I love it!) to the words that calm a storm of tears! Every word with romaji AND free listening audio! > > Happy, sad, angry, scared, proud, kind — feelings are the very first words a child needs, and the words they will use every day of their life.
