Promoting Health and Stories for Japanese, Americans and "Others"
 |
| 'OTHER'
NEEDS YOUR HELP |
The
Book "Other," Focuses On Identity, A Source of Both Great
Health & of Much Suffering.
The book which leaves us with a desire to share the joy which can
accompany our differences is both orginal and timely given recent
international events.
Naive
Style Enjoyed by Busy Adults & Curious Kids.
Moved by the
writing of St. Exupery's "The Little Prince," by the simplicity
and humor of Jean-Jacques Sempe's "Le Petit Nicolas,"
'Mom Says, Dad Says, Nat Says" gives birth to a new naive style
enjoyable by both children and adults. While the drawings appeal
to children, the subject matter, is savored by adults. The short
format of the book (36 pages) illustrated with watercolors and accompanied
with a poignant message places the series into a category of its
own, enjoyed by both busy adults and curious kids.
An
Original & Timely Book
Watch over 'other' over the next few weeks. Put a link from your
site and see if you can help 'other' survive this incubation period.
And just, maybe you know someone who can help Nat readers who would
enjoy this original and timely book.

How
Was the Title, "Other," Born?
Other'
was originally conceived from one of Nat's college essays describing
the experience of growing up in several cultures and with more than
one nationality. Despite a long incubation period the little penguin
had several notable developments.
Nat Wrote, & She Wrote & She wrote.
In her heart, however, unrest grew. She had spent much of her life
wanting theories of positive health to become known. Academia some
how couldn't do it. She worried that only the head, and not the
heart would transpire. There must be another way, thought the little
penguin.
And
Then Nat Began to Paint.
Nat then put one and two together. To reach children and adults
Nat started writing and illustrating a series Mom says, Dad says,
Nat says.
The First Book in The Series, 'Other'
is To Help Children & Adults in Light of Current World Events.
Although Nat's agent for trade books on psychology co-authored
with Dr. Yukio Ishizuka is Eugene Winick, this new book series meant
to help both adults and children is of a new genre. The author believes
it is fit for a publisher who wants to touch both children and adults.
