Yoake o matsu dobutsutachi
Description:
In 2019, a large-scale forest fire broke out in the Amazon, which has the world's largest tropical rainforest and is known as the "lungs of the earth." This is a ``narrative non-fiction picture book (a story-based work based on fact)'' written from the perspective of animals by the author, who was saddened by the loss of a vast forest to the ground and the loss of many living creatures. A fire breaks out in the jungle, where there has been no rain for a long time, and the animals cannot see the sun due to the smoke. The animals find it strange that the sun never rises, and continue walking through the forest looking for the sun. Eventually, they felt intense heat and thought the sun had returned, but it was not the dawn they had been waiting for. The animals desperately try to escape, but the fire spreads and the area is ruthlessly consumed. After that, the rain falls, and silence falls over the forest. Then, a forest reborn in a new form appears. Animals pray. "I pray that the yellow sun will never disappear again. I pray that the red parakeets, the blue butterflies, and this green forest will never disappear. Forever and ever."
