My partner and I have two kids who both tends towards anxiety。 But really, anxiety does seem to be on the rise for any person who is awake during this very challenging time in the world。 This book is perfect for people of any age who struggles with worrying about the future。 It features a little girl who is racked with anxiety because her brother has just told her that the future is sure to be terrible, full of war, not enough food, and other terrible calamities。 She dissolves into floods of tea My partner and I have two kids who both tends towards anxiety。 But really, anxiety does seem to be on the rise for any person who is awake during this very challenging time in the world。 This book is perfect for people of any age who struggles with worrying about the future。 It features a little girl who is racked with anxiety because her brother has just told her that the future is sure to be terrible, full of war, not enough food, and other terrible calamities。 She dissolves into floods of tears and runs into talk to her grandmother。 Her grandmother reminds her gently that we don’t know what the future holds, but “there must be more” than just a horrible future or a sunny dystopia。 Explaining that nobody, not even grownups, can know what the future holds, the girl’s grandmother suggests many different futures: might there be a future where robots do our homework? Where Christmas is every Saturday? Where this is a zero-gravity switch in all of our bedrooms? Her grandmother reminds the girl that children are often offered a binary set of choices: a cat or a dog, the park or inside, but that the world is full of beautiful and endless possibilities which will only be revealed with time。 I think this book is helpful for any person to remind themselves of the gentle aphorism that “worry is a rocking chair, it gets you going and it takes you nowhere” and that the future will only be revealed with time。 。。。more

- No wonder I am familiar with the art style。。。 it's from the same author who wrote The Boring Book! If you like that book, I am pretty sure you will like this one as well。- I think the story writing is well done and the illustration is insanely cute。 - I think the moral of the story is to point out that the world is not just black and white, there are many possibilities waiting to be discovered。 Final rating: 4。5/5 ✨ - No wonder I am familiar with the art style。。。 it's from the same author who wrote The Boring Book!

Cute book of optimistic thought!
Chava,
Just love this book translated from the Japanese。 Great illustrations, great message, fun, funny, but also gives you a lot to think about - there are not only two options。 Great for story time, and would be great as a prompt for students to think of their own options and what amazing things could happen in the future。

Ok, not everybody has to read this。 But everybody who is angry, or fearful, or otherwise concerned about the future needs to learn the lesson this little girl does。 We don't know what the future holds。。。 there are lots of choices。。。 we can get creative & solve problems and help make the future a brighter one than the media predicts!

an。,
this book has opened my eyes that there are more ways of options, not only one or two。 it depends with ourselves which ways we want to choose。 if there no options that we want, then make it。
Hana Bilqisthi,
It is really fun book。 Encourage reader to not think in black and white fashion/binary。
Lynn,
Cute illustrations。 It’s a simple story that explores the idea that there are numerous possibilities。
Slaa!!!,
I love this author-illustrator so much!!
Nadina,
I liked the simplicity of the illustrations, I liked the message of the story that the future has many possibilities。 It was a good story, I wouldn't say it was amazing, though I do think that some kids could benefit from the book。 I liked the simplicity of the illustrations, I liked the message of the story that the future has many possibilities。 It was a good story, I wouldn't say it was amazing, though I do think that some kids could benefit from the book。 。。。more

It's a pretty perfect family pandemic read, but also just enjoyable all around。 It pushes readers to think beyond "yes" or "no" and imagine a future beyond what is dictated。 Clever and funny!

Really fun book! The future is limitless, and can be full of tons of great things! The art is fun (my kind of style) and the characters are amusing。 I read in like 5 minutes :)
Deborah,
Loved the fact that this book encourages the reader to go beyond the binary of good/bad and reimagine what their options could be。 It's comforting and creative all at once, and opens to door for young minds to ask questions about things they might find troubling or that have been weighing on them。 I think this one would be great for slightly older elementary or young middle school ages。 Loved the fact that this book encourages the reader to go beyond the binary of good/bad and reimagine what their options could be。 It's comforting and creative all at once, and opens to door for young minds to ask questions about things they might find troubling or that have been weighing on them。 I think this one would be great for slightly older elementary or young middle school ages。 。。。more
Alison,
This book just wasn’t for me。 I liked the message that there are more than just two choices to any one problem, but I thought starting it off by talking about our future being doomed was a little too bleak for a children’s book。 Maybe that’s me being sensitive, but I wouldn’t recommend this book to any kids in my library。

A cute reminder that life still gives us lots of possibilities。 Chin up, everybody!

This book is so cute, so cute。Lovate lol。The cartoons are cute and the story is too。For adults and children alike。。。

نمیدونم چطوری باید عشقم رو به این مجموعه نشون بدم。 عزیز و ناز و زیبا با مفاهیمی ظاهراً ساده که از یاد رفتهاند یا هرگز یادشون نگرفتیم。
Kristine,
Hmm。。。。love that the book demonstrated that life is not black/white, good/bad/, love/hate。 Love the silliness。 Love the amusing illustrations and that there are so many of them。 Didn't love the typeface。。。found it glaring。 Seems like a softer font would better match the message。 I can visualize kids having fun with this read。 Hmm。。。。love that the book demonstrated that life is not black/white, good/bad/, love/hate。 Love the silliness。 Love the amusing illustrations and that there are so many of them。 Didn't love the typeface。。。found it glaring。 Seems like a softer font would better match the message。 I can visualize kids having fun with this read。 。。。more

This book was simple but meaningful。 we entering the perspective of a child。 how future would be? when we grown up, we just dont know why world become so little and become narrow。 It just happens like that and we have to choose between choices than many possibilities that we could choose。 be out of those line, and "it's okay to find something new on your own!"

فکر کنم یکی از جدیدترین کتابهای این نویسنده ژاپنیه که تو سال ۲۰۲۰ نوشته، بعد از پاندمی کرونا و درمورد نترسیدن از آینده است و اینکه قرار نیست لزوما اتفاقات خیلی بدی برای ما بیوفته。 از باقی کتابای یوشیتکه کمتر دوسش داشتم ولی خوندنش خالی از لطف نبود و از خیالپردازیهای خاص خود نویسنده هم لذت بردم。
