■ What is 'Dramatic Picture Book'?
It is a "picture book experienced through sound" that combines narration, direction, sound effects, music, and visual expression.
It is developed as an original reading series that expands picture books from "something to read" to "something to experience," primarily for preschoolers to early elementary school children, enjoyable with their parents.
■ Synopsis of Episode 3, "Musubi Hime no Nakanori"
Illustration: Shoji Ikehara
Musubi Hime, a fairy born from a "magic tree" wishing to eliminate conflicts.
By untying the knots of her braids, she has the power to connect people's hearts and cast reconciliation magic.
During her journey, Musubi Hime meets Lavender, a lonely girl, and for the first time learns about an "irreplaceable friend." However, each time she uses her reconciliation magic, her life gradually withers.
Caught between her feelings for loved ones and her kindness to save someone, Musubi Hime makes her final decision.
"What is reconciliation?" "What is true compassion?"
As a full-fledged audio drama of approximately 40 minutes, it provides an opportunity for parents and children to think together.
