Vincent Van Gogh

If you hear a voice within you say "you cannot paint," then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.（内なる声が「おまえには描けない」と言ったら、何としても描け。そうすれば何も言わなくなる。）---- Vincent Van Gogh

At my alma mater 母校にて 2019.11

Those picture books I translated this summer - autumn have been available at Tsuda University Alumnae Association as well. Many many thanks. Hope that our alumnae, especially the ones who are engaged in basic English or Japanese education and the ones who are in the middle of child-raising will enjoy using those books, and that the books will meet lots of new friends. Their books can be borrowed for 1 month in term time.

グリム童話から逃げ切った瞬間。: アマゾン1位（童話･民話･神話のカテゴリー）

The moment when our Ellie outran The Wizard of Oz.: Amazon Bestseller #2 (Children's Books Category)
オズの魔法使いから逃げ切った瞬間。: アマゾン2位（子供の本のカテゴリー）

The author, being a math teacher for 35 years in high school, also a mother of four children and grandmother of two ADHD granddaughters, has written a lot of books for which she has taken advantage of her years of experience as a teacher and her rich experience with her children and grandchildren, and this adorable gem has been dedicated to all the parents and children fighting for ADHD. I sincerely hope both children and adults can enjoy this special message from the author who has spoken with people with ADHD, listened to them using every possible and creative way, made their studying easier day after day, and accepted them as they are unconditionally, both in English and Japanese.
35年間、高校の数学教師として教鞭を取られてきた著者は、4児の母であり、2人のADHDの孫にも恵まれる祖母。長年の教師経験や子孫たちとの豊富な体験が活かされた作品が多く、本作はADHDと戦うすべての親御さまとお子さまに捧げる作品となっています。可能な限りクリエイティブな方法を用いてADHDの方々と会話をし、耳を傾け、来る日も来る日も皆が学びやすくなるよう心がけ、ありのままの姿を無条件に受け入れてきた著者ならではのメッセージを英語と日本語のバイリンガルで子供も大人もお楽しみいただければ幸甚です。

Ben is Back ベン･イズ･バック

A drug addicted teenage boy shows up unexpectedly at his family's home on Christmas Eve. His mother is relieved and welcoming but wary of her son staying clean. Over a turbulent 24 hours, new truths are revealed, and a mother's undying love for her son is tested as she does everything in her power to keep him safe. A triumphal performance of Julia Roberts（ジュリア･ロバーツ）as the mother is one of the best of her career, and Lucas Hedges（ルーカス･ヘッジズ）has been on a phenomenal rise.
