Good books selected by Hanuri:

Akiko Hayashi's illustrations of cute, plump children make anyone feel like they are looking at their own baby. The baby is wearing the big mommy's shirt by himself, and he feels proud every time the hand, head, face, and foot come out one by one. Even though he seems to be grumpy because of the last foot, the baby's bright face is so adorable when he finally succeeds.
