Last week I posted about my plans for International Book Giving Day. I've almost completed them. I gave books to my kids, gave Sora and the Cloud to my son's kindergarten, made a donation to The Book Bus, and bought some used Japanese books to place in doctor's waiting rooms. I haven't actually gotten those books into waiting rooms as the doctor I called told me wandering into a waiting room at the height of flu season was a bit silly. So that will get done later.
Instead of getting my husband and colleagues books, I warmed them up to the idea by presenting them with book chocolates.
This is Kaguyahime, the protagonist of a Japanese folk tale called The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.
I gave my kids their first Valentines! Not chocolate, but a big hit! Maybe next year I'll shoot for handmade. Maybe!
Okay, probably not.
Hope you have a fabulous day full of love and reading (or love of reading!).
What amazing book chocolate! And thanks so much for taking part in International Book Giving Day :-)
