[Elementary School] Picture Books and Children’s Books to Read in February

A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

February: the season when we still tremble in the cold, with spring yet to come.

What kind of image do you have of February?

Setsubun and Valentine’s Day might be the first events that come to mind.

This time, I’m going to introduce picture books about February for elementary school children.

From nostalgic titles you may have read long ago to educational picture books with plenty of substance, I’ve selected a wide range.

They’re all works you’ll enjoy reading again and again!

Be sure to check them out to the end!

[Elementary School] Picture Books and Children's Books to Read in February (21–30)

The Mysterious Power of Saint Nicholas

http://www.amazon.co.jp

Saint Nicholas, known as the model for Santa Claus, was a real bishop who carried out charitable works in the 4th century in what is now Turkey.

This picture book explains the relationship between Saint Nicholas and Santa Claus from a historical perspective.

Everyone probably has the image of Santa bringing presents at Christmas, but some children might wonder, “Who is Santa Claus?” Perhaps the answer can be found within this picture book.

Connected by a red thread

http://www.amazon.co.jp

This is a story about Annie the badger and Tickle the porcupine, who care for each other and sometimes quarrel.

They each find a strand of red yarn and start knitting for the other.

But the yarn is actually connected, and just as their creations are nearly finished, everything unravels.

The two start to argue…

They only wanted to see each other’s happy faces, so it’s sad when a small misunderstanding leads to a fight, isn’t it? Still, they make up properly and become close again.

Children often quarrel, too, but rather than letting that be the end of it, it would be wonderful if they, like these two, could come to cherish each other again.
