Thank you SoulLove! - Gentle Giant

We have received a mail from SoulLove about our picture book The Gentle Giant.
Your message is so warm and peaceful! Thank you, SoulLove!!

---------------------------------

Dear Jun Togo,
Greetings and love from Japan! I read your Gentle Giant picture book and really loved it! The pictures are adorable and the message is valuable. After reading this, my thoughts went to the importance of peaceful communication. The Giant reacted to the people from his own logical perception of reality, but didn't think to stop and ask the people if his perceptions were correct according to them. The people as well didn't stop to think before they started attacking, that the Giant might have had a good reason for his actions. If both parties had communicated or at least made the attempt to do so, perhaps the violence could have been avoided entirely.
Love and Brightest Blessings,SoulLove

You have an incredibly simplistic and childish view of the world, all black and white with no shades of gray.

Thank you Jake! - Love and Enemies

Today we have received a mail from Jake about our picture book 'Love and Enemies' as follows.

----------------------------------------------------
Filled with wisdom. I'm glad you made it into a children's picture book because it illustrates the fact that most of life's greatest truths are so simple that even a child can understand them - but presidents and kings and even geniuses are often completely ignorant of them. I am a Christian, and some of your books illustrate quite well why I don't go to church anymore, and why Jesus wouldn't either. Way to go. Keep on exposing legalism and pointing the way towards love.

Thank you Poppadoc! - Just a flower

Today we have received a mail from Poppadoc about our picture book 'Just a flower', which is about the elimination of atomic bombs, as follows.

Thank you very much, Poppadoc!!

----------------------------------------------------
I am older than dirt, Yet my vision is still good. My hands don't shake unless there is another hand in one of them! and I too am sorry about atomic bombs, even though, at the time, we felt it was the only way to stop the Japanese soldiers! Yeah we believed the president and wanted to stop the war from escalating any more than it had already! AND I am sorry,really I am!

Thank you, Ismail! - We are special

We have received a mail from Ismail about our picture book 'We are special' as follows.
Thank you, Isamail!!

perfect idea. you're right in that hatred is almost 'contagious,' but, however, we shouldn't justify any brutal action. i think that both groups-of children- have showed intolerance and brutality on an equal basis.
thank you
