The last correspondence


日本のおばあちゃんから月に一度届く雑誌。毎回、こどもたちが心待ちにしています。この家で受け取るのもこれで最後と思うと寂しいなあ。日本語力維持のため、大活躍してくれました。LAに行ったら、きっとお店で買えるのかも。。。おばあちゃん、長い間ありがとう。

These are the comic/storybook kids have been receiving every month from their grandma in Japan. Every time they are just so excited to receive them. For our 11 year-old son, this is the only reading experience of his in Japanese. Lucky him, all the Japanese characters in the comic have furigana, or prounceation keys, to help whomever is not 100% confident reading characters...
