Obaasan to Ahiru Tachi

[Machine Translation] An old woman who wanted a warm feather comforter kept 12 ducks, hoping to receive their feathers. But wouldn't the ducks get cold if she gave them feathers? Worried, the grandmother came up with a good idea! This is a story about a very clever old lady, and is a picture book based on a picture-story show created by Reiko Okuyama, the model for the heroine of the NHK morning drama "Natsu Zora" in the first half of 2019, when she was working as an animator. The warmth and charm of Okuyama's drawings, cultivated through her animation work, are fully utilized in this work.
