'Oh, I forgot to lock the door when I brought in the flour last night!'
At that moment, the knocking on the door stopped and the door slid open.
Mr. Bread was startled and panicked,
My heart is pounding.

How can we open the tightly closed heart of Mr. Bread, the loner?

Mr. Shy Bread.
'Even when I meet someone I know, my heart races / When I meet someone I don't know, my heart races even more' I am a timid person whose heart races.
Mr. Bread lives alone near the forest, away from the village.
'Loner, shy, isolated, isolated, timid.' These are the words that come to mind when I think of Mr. Bread.
Mr. Bread, as his name suggests, makes good bread.
There is no bread that cannot be made, including sweet sora bread, moist cream bread, crispy baguette, melt-in-your-mouth rolls, and fragrant rye bread.
It makes it very tasty too.
But bread is only made at night when everyone is asleep.
Because someone might come looking for you after smelling the bread.


Then one night, a koala who couldn't sleep because of the smell of baking bread comes to see Mr. Bread.
The moment the door, which he had accidentally unlocked, opens, Mr. Bread tries to hide behind the table and falls.
Mr. Bread's heart is pounding with surprise and fear! He has no choice but to bake a Castella cake for the koala.
From then on, animals came every night.
Every night, guests visit Mr. Bread's house and enjoy his bread, including a mouse that hasn't pooped in days, a lost sheep shivering from the cold, a bear with no appetite, and a cat.

The excitement of fear turns into the excitement of excitement!

As time passes, changes come to Mr. Bread, who is used to being alone.
Mr. Bread, whose heart used to pound with fear and embarrassment, is now excited and looking forward to a new encounter.
As we continued to meet and share our lives, I think peace of mind began to seep into my heart.

Eventually, Mr. Bread opens a bakery.
We create a bakery where sharing, communication, and peace are the only things.
A bakery that leaves no one behind.
Mr. Bread's heart was so open that he even gave the timid lion some time to eat comfortably on his own.
'Sharing, communication, joy, peace, consideration, openness.' These are the words that come to mind when I see Mr. Bread.
But who will finally visit Mr. Bread's "Thrilling Bakery"? The hint is winter.
What kind of bread did Mr. Bread make for the guests who came from far away looking at the map?

A heart-melting picture and warm story like a bright spring day!

Mr. Bread, who is more timid than a timid child.
The process of Mr. Bread's heart opening makes readers' hearts flutter as they watch.
You can read Mr. Bread's change of heart in the way his face, red from embarrassment, fades over time.
The author's hand-drawn illustrations, which make a warm story even warmer and brighter, linger in my mind even after I close the book.
He peeks out through the small window in the door, just enough to show his pupils, in case there's someone outside.
The author delicately depicted the animals that came to visit and the sight of them unable to make eye contact.
The author's hope that the hearts of young readers who read this book will open like Mr. Bread's is fully conveyed.
