Publisher's Review
Will something good really happen if I do this?
The magical secrets of author Shinsuke Yoshitake!
Everyone has days when they need some cheering up.
When you're barely late in the morning, when you study hard but accidentally fail the test, when you get into an awkward argument with a friend while joking around, when you feel like your confidence is low and you feel pathetic today...
How would you feel if you were walking down the street on a day like this, sighing deeply, and happened to stumble upon a four-leaf clover? You'd instantly feel elated, anticipating, "Wow! Something good will happen today?"
In fact, four-leaf clovers and luck have nothing to do with each other.
Author Shinsuke Yoshitake's new work, "Something Good Might Happen," is a warm book that whispers that good things will happen with just a small action when you're feeling tired and worn out.
It's full of life secrets we've never heard of.
In fact, these are all secrets that author Shinsuke Yoshitake kept in his heart.
These slightly absurd and outlandish secrets are simple and easy enough for anyone to follow, and above all, they're funny.
When my head is full of thoughts, if I lie still and put a piece of fruit on my forehead, a good idea will flash through my mind. Before choosing a dinner menu, if I put two similar-looking items together, it will be easier to decide. If I look at a lot of cute things, my face will become cuter too. If I stir the milk 17 times, a seat in front of me on public transportation will quickly appear.
There is no basis for this, but these are cute actions that you follow in the hope that they might come true, and then you quickly burst out laughing.
Perhaps, through this eccentric behavior, author Shinsuke Yoshitake is trying to help us regain the peace and innocence we have forgotten.
With such a small effort, you can burst into laughter and feel better in an instant! So, aren't these secrets quite effective?
This book, filled with author Shinsuke Yoshitake's signature wit and humor, also contains heartfelt comfort and encouragement for those weary of life.
A scene where a cute guardian angel gives us a thumbs up, saying that even if I can't forgive myself, there is a little guardian angel who always forgives me.
And the picture of a baby reaching out and flipping the switch on the back of a mother who is lying face down exhausted from raising a child, along with the message, “The switch that allows me to do something is out of my reach,” makes the viewer feel both a deep emotion and a warm sense of comfort.
Like a four-leaf clover discovered by chance while walking down the street, this picture book presents unexpected good fortune, “Something Good Might Happen.”
As you read each of the secrets in this book, you will find yourself smiling without even realizing it.
At first, you may think, "Hey, is this really all you can do?" and dismiss it as a joke, but the charm of this book is that it gradually makes you think, "Just in case, why don't I try it too?"
I highly recommend reading this book, which is imbued with the positive attitude and cheerful wit characteristic of author Shinsuke Yoshitake.
We look forward to seeing what kind of luck these magical secrets, which may just bring good things, will bring to our lives.
