Today is Setsubun 😈 I love picture books since I was a child and I love the story of "Cried Red Demon" with a gentle blue demon📘🌟

2/3 Edited to

... Read more節分と聞くと、多くの人が豆まきを思い浮かべるでしょう。私も子どもの頃、家族で「鬼は外!福は内!」と元気よく掛け声をかけながら豆まきをしていました。そんな節分におすすめしたい絵本が『泣いた赤鬼』です。 このお話は、優しく純粋な青鬼が主人公で、友だち思いの心温まるストーリーが特徴です。青鬼はみんなに愛されたいけれど怖がられてしまう赤鬼のために、自分が怖い鬼のふりをしてみんなの元から離れてしまうという切ない場面があります。最後に赤鬼が友だちの青鬼を心から思うシーンには胸を打たれます。 私がこの絵本を好きな理由は、ただの怖い鬼のお話ではなく友情や思いやりを感じられるからです。また、節分の豆まきと重ねて読むと、心の中の“小さな鬼”=自分の弱さや不安をも優しく受け入れてくれるような気持ちになれます。 近年、節分の行事も多様化していますが、こうした伝統行事と絵本を通じて子どもたちに大切な価値を伝えることは素晴らしいことだと思います。実際、私も子どもに読み聞かせながら「どうして鬼は怖いのかな?」「友だちを思うってどういうこと?」と話して、一緒に考える時間を楽しみました。 また、この絵本には学習時に集中できるBGMのタグも付いており、勉強や作業の合間にホッとする時間を作るのにも適しています。節分の日だけでなく、日常の中で心を落ち着けたいときにもおすすめです。 皆さんも今年の節分に『泣いた赤鬼』を読んで、家族や友だちとの絆を深めてみてはいかがでしょうか。笑顔あふれる素敵な節分になりますように。

History didn’t carve her name into stone. But babies took their first breath because she showed up. And whole communities slept easier because they trusted her. In the late 1800s, there was a woman known simply as Mrs. F. Lathers. No grand biography. No official records praising her work.
