Mama Arigatou / Thanks, Mom (2023)

Mama Arigatou Book Cover

I came to this home when I was just a baby.

With Mama, Papa, my big sister, my big brother, and me—when we're all together, that's what we call family.

I wanted to stay by Mama's side forever, but at last, the day has come for me to set off on a journey to the sky.

It's lonely, but I have to say goodbye.

Mama, thank you for all the happy days.

It's available in Japan on Amazon (JP)
