Slowly with a Smile
by Hajime Kijima
illus. by Ryoji Arai
People moving house, the sun moving across the sky, ants moving over the ground, a baby kangaroo travelling in its mother's pouch, swallows preparing to migrate... Nothing in our world is ever still. Little Ayame-chan too is on the move. Slowly with a smile, she leaves her little playgroup to enter elementary school.
