Short commentary
Under the Covid-19 pandemic, children have less chances to see what adults’ faces are like because they are covered with masks.
This picture book provides many kinds of faces, including laugh, anger, sad, happiness and so on, in the simple and colorful design.
About one year old children will enjoy imitating the faces in the book. And it is expected that they get to be able to read “faces” of others as well as express their own emotion by using their faces.
