Amandina in Japanese!

Published by Mitsumura Educational Co., and translated by Yumiko Fukumoto.

The band on the cover says: "I will stop being so shy."

Another warm applause for Amandina

The British but Madrid-based translator Ellen Duthie reviews children's books on her blog, We read it like this. Today, she posted a particularly attentive and thoughtful review of Amandina. Thank you!

Emperor Hirohito reads Amandina

Having heard that Amandina will soon be published in Japan by Mitsumura, Emperor Hirohito got himself a copy of the American edition to familiarize with it. He seems to really enjoy it!
