I also work on illustrated books. and I have written play and a youth novel.   What was your childhood like?   I have dyslexia. But when I was young I didn’t know I had dyslexia.

In fact, I never thought about becoming a writer. I think the people around me didn’t think about it either.   What books did you read often when you were young?   Instead of books with only text, I think I preferred ones with images. I grew up in my grandma’s house and there was a study room. If you look at art brochures, you can see the title of the year under the picture. It was really fun to look at those. And my se...

I write children and youth books.   From when did you want to be a children’s book writer?   When I was in the 6th grade of elementary school, I first read a storybook. I found out I couldn’t go to middle school at that time. The only way for me to accept that fact was to try to escape by reading books.

That was how I was vaguely thinking at the time.   Where do you get inspiration for writing?   What gives me energy to write is life. And it is the events in the lives of people and their stories - good or bad. What inspires me What inspires me are the incidents happening among people.   Did you have a memorable childhood?   Everything is so vivid. From my ho...
