Misuzu Kaneko is the most famous children's poet in Japan today. His poems have been included in school textbooks and have been translated into 13 languages of the world. He lived a total of 26 years, but left us a great poetic heritage - 512 poems. They were repeatedly published in the form of collections, albums, illustrated books;
The American writer David Jacobson fell in love with Misuzu's poems and together with fellow Canadian poets, Japanese painters and translators compiled the collection "Are You and Echo?"
This precious picture book brings together Misuzu's biography, work, and poetry history. Its Japanese version is also published in Japan.
Misuzu looks not only at people, but also at flowers, grasses, stones and earth with great attention and a kind heart. Everyone and everything that exists on this planet called earth is precious to him.
As Setsuo Yazaki, a researcher and popularizer of Misuzu's work, notes:
"It is very gratifying that this book has now been translated into Georgian. The round and beautiful Georgian letters remind me of Misudzu's handwriting, and I think it will suit his poems very well. I hope that both children and adults in Georgia will be interested in this publication";
