Hiroko’s Diary

I like to read picture books to my kids.  Since I gave birth to my daughter, I started to buy picutre books.  Now she is 7 years old and she can read those books by herself but still she loves to get me to read.  

I sometimes go to elementary school to read picutre books to students there.  I enrolled as a volunteer staff for reading books.  I think basically all children love picture books.  Books nurture children’s imagination.  I believe people who have experiences to have read many books by their parents in childhood will never commit a cruel crime in their future life. 

As I teach English to kids, I collect English picture books, too.  I want my students to love books and know a wonderful world of books.  I lend out those books to my students.  Even if they can’t read all the sentences, they like to take a new book back home. 

Not only to my kids and students, but also I read picture books for myself when I’m blue.  They heal my heart.
