Kaze no Denwa (Illustrated story in Japanese)

Japanese children’s story Kaze no Denwa, written and illustrated by Yoko Imoto.

This touching story teaches children how to cope with grief through the tales of forest animals who visit a white, disconnected telephone box on top of a hill, through which they can speak to and remember their loved ones who are no longer with them. The illustrations accompanying the text create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that enhances the story’s moving message.
