Supportive Comments for “Erabook”

In a press release from I&CO Tokyo,
I shared a message of support for “Erabook.”

About 70% of the children who participated said, “My views on the SDGs have changed.” [
Regular Report on “Erabook”: Stories That Let You Choose Your Future] Nanako Ishido, CEO of CANVAS, commented, “It helps foster an interest in society.”

"I love picture books.
What is the appeal of picture books?
It’s that they open the door to a new world—
and they do so with just a few words and illustrations, leaving plenty of room for the imagination."

The world is full of wonders:
beautiful nature, diverse peoples, and
rich cultures. Unfortunately, however, there are also many challenges—such as environmental issues, poverty, and epidemics.
Solving these problems requires each and every one of us to take ownership and actively engage in addressing them.
We must also work together with people who hold diverse values to
build a new society.
To achieve this, it’s a good idea to start by taking an interest in society, gaining diverse perspectives, and letting your imagination wander to different worlds.
Digital Ehon will help you do just that.
