>> English Translated by Sako Ikegami (SCBWI)
Earthquake, I was surprised. I think now, some people in the pot Soi feeling heart, and there are many.

Now, we have tried hard adult, because adults do my best to fit all the power in the future, everyone is at ease, please.
But it may take a little time, because you are always okay.

When the heart has become a little pot law, do not start
Please try to remember the story I love you.

When I have chest pounding, but remember the story of "The Hobbit". Various adventures of the hero Bilbo took. I was also pretty scary, is not Bilbo had been properly overcome. As I recall it, courage when you do.

But has come when serious, rather than continue this Innovation will not, will someday end. If you have been painful if excited, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow than I, think of a few days ago will no more Innovation.

In the day after tomorrow and tomorrow, but look the same every day, it really just is not the same, little by little it has changed. Little by little so it very much, we just do not notice.

Now, from the branches of trees and grass of the ground seems to have him, I started out new shoots.

But was visible as during the winter will not Innovation, grass, trees, toward the day every day little by little, begin to sprout, was moving in from the bud is to come out this way.

Innovation continues today and that Sun will not Onnaji There is no Zettaini.

But now cold, it gradually in spring, hot summer has come and then, will fall within that, the winter will be slow. Position the blood, the same day is not available. Because they will change little by little every day, the season is over this way.

So is every day for us. Each day, even though it looks goes on each day, like yesterday and today is Onnaji example, really, little by little, little by little, has changed. A few days ago, has become a fun day Innovation will not always do so began to change. I think so.

You do today that is sure is coming for a fun day is spent in feeling fun and bright. Consider the interesting thing is that the laugh. Then, it feels easy, healthy and will come out gradually.

But, Even Sun does not come out quite healthy, I have sometimes. Such days, please tell myself "I'm going to become of them today is also a pleasant feeling, but does not come out healthy." I have been always so. Really, because it is so.

Thinking that should not be scary. Scary thing does not happen. When I realized that thinking that has become so scared, please take a deep breath. Nando or slowly, try it. That way, feeling is gradually becoming easier.

If you have become easier, think of fun. Difficult or not. But when you are always so, within that, you will be able to immediately. (You can now gradually been practicing myself)

Will get there and have spent thinking about fun, the day of today, strangely enough, to be sure a fun day.

Why? Because it was so if I try.

If you think that the fun, power and missing Su~tsu, feeling is becoming easier. To laugh, for the body is the same as deep breathing.

On the other hand, if the thought that the scary, the body becomes hard, breathing is becoming shallower. Then, it becomes more and more scared. Such it will hate?

When I realized that I started thinking that one is scary, take slow, deep breaths. Are repeated within or Nando, is becoming easier and relieved, because I always get back to you. Always, I've been doing.

If you love my book, I might have read the story of Margarita. Margarita and Marcello, first placed on the pirate ship, How have you been? Yes, I was having fun as usual. If you've been doing, what happened? It was a fun day came.

Very little even when the day came, as usual fun, and we spent day by day, has come also a fun day too soon. In the same way, we spent one day also, when the tree also a little bit tougher day, Then. Then also has become a fun day.

This way, I should try this with everyone? It will be?

But also are swinging out of me every day, and also has worked hard for our family of Sendai.

My brother has worked with everyone went to the relief of the company together with people, have accused.

Also of all adults in the neighborhood, some people of its own permanence, even the people of the electricity company, a lot of adults who would be best in everyone? So, fine.

Good luck to you I want a child, while that in a happy way and take slow, deep breaths, there is to it.

And now, as everyone is not around this, recall the story of his great love had ever read. Also interesting and fun anime, I'll remember a lot. I also make a lot, want to read the book to everyone. Please wait for me to enjoy.

Is a strange thing, and that makes the book down at my desk, I can feel in my heart, that you have read me happily.

We are throughout the book is because it connected with the heart and soul. This is not just me, everyone likes a lot of teachers of large writer of you, are connected with you in mind.
