{"product_id":"구룬파유치원","title":"Gurunpa's Kindergarten","description":"Description: Gurunpa is a very big elephant. Having lived alone and lazily for so long, he has become quite dirty and rather smelly. His fellow elephants, all grown up, decide it's time to send the ever-idle Gurunpa out into the world to find work. Whether he tries baking cookies, making dishes, or crafting shoes, everything Gurunpa makes turns out far too big, and he keeps getting turned away. Discouraged and disappointed, Gurunpa is nearly moved to tears. But then, a mother with twelve children asks him to come play with her kids. Will Gurunpa finally get it right this time? As the brave but lonely elephant sets off on his journey, one setback after another chips away at his confidence — but in the end, the kindergarten Gurunpa creates brings everyone joy. This is a story that reminds us that even if we're clumsy at many things, everyone has something they can do well. For little ones who are still learning and often feel unsure of themselves, Gurunpa speaks on their behalf, offering the reassuring message: 'I can do this.'\n\nIllustrator Horiuchi Seiichi was born in Tokyo in 1932.
