No matter what anyone says, I believe in myself!

A buzz is a fly as small as a fingernail.
This little guy has big plans.
One, walk up to the top of the mountain.
Two, invite friends over for dinner.
Three, become friends with sharks.
Friends react coldly, saying, "What kind of fly walks up a mountain?"
But Wing Wing sets out on his journey, ignoring the words of his friends who laugh at his dreams.
If you have a dream, you know that the most important thing is to listen to the words "you can" rather than "you can't" and start right away.
Wing Wing begins to take small steps, one step, two steps, towards the top of the mountain.


But it wasn't just Wing Wing who climbed the mountain with big dreams.
Some friends are faster, some are stronger.
Unlike Wing-Wing, who climbs the mountain slowly with his short legs, the other friends climb the mountain with great ease.
Wingwing, who is worried about whether he will be able to achieve his dream, wants to give up.
Then, a small voice is heard from deep within Wing Wing's heart.
"Don't give up!" Wing Wing leans into that voice and starts climbing the mountain again.
When I'm feeling tired, I think of happy moments and write and sing songs.
Will Wing Wing be able to climb to the top of the mountain?

A gift I want to give to children: "Trust in Me."

Self-esteem is the feeling that you are worthy and can achieve anything.
People with low self-esteem are more distressed by failures and tend to exaggerate negative events from the past, says sociologist Morris Rosenberg.
Failure and hardship can happen to anyone, you know.
Self-esteem plays a vital role in overcoming failure and hardship to grow.
Above all, children with diverse dreams need self-esteem, or "a heart that believes in myself," to find the courage to say, "Let's give it a try!" even in the face of failure and hardship.

The main character of this book, Wing-Wing, is a bold fly who confidently pursues his dreams no matter how much his friends laugh at him.
But even for such a confident Wing-Wing, there come times when he wants to give up.
I lost confidence because I saw friends who were faster and stronger than me achieve the same dream much more easily.
But Wing Wing takes another step forward, hearing a voice from deep within his heart.
“Don’t give up!”

We are always challenging ourselves with something, and we are often at risk of failure.
But if you believe in yourself, you will hear a voice deep in your heart saying, "Don't give up!"
With this book, give your children the gift of 'believing in themselves' that will help them protect their precious dreams.
