[Interview] An interview article was published in the magazine “Mebae”!

The magazine *Mebae*, which is aimed at children ages 2 to 4, featured an interview with us on the topic, “What Are Digital Ehon?”
We are currently making steady preparations for the third Digital Ehon Awards judging session.
This year, we’ve received entries from all over the world, and the total number of submissions has actually surpassed that of the
digital category at the world-renowned Bologna Children’s Book Fair! What’s more, there are many high-quality entries—even more so than last year. I’m already looking forward to seeing
how the judging session unfolds.
