Other [Speaker] Giving a talk titled “Turning On Kids’ Creativity!” at Rigare Mama Cafe! For lunch today, I gave
a talk at a “Mama Café” organized by moms who work at companies in the Marunouchi area. The
organizer reached out to me after reading *“The Switch to Children’s Creativity!”*. They’re working
while raising kids and spending their lunchtime learning at the Mama Café.
The moms rushed in at 12:00 and hurriedly left the venue at 12:50.
They’re amazing.

Come to think of it, it seems you wrote a book review in last month’s issue of *Diamond* for *How to Raise Future Innovators* and
*Design Thinking: A New Way of Thinking That Leads to World-Changing Innovation*, along
with *Turning On Children’s Creativity!*—thank you very much.
I’ve actually just started reading *How to Raise Future Innovators*.
