『巣箱の中で』(Subako no naka de)
著者は、自宅の一室のガラス窓から中をのぞけるように巣箱を取り付け、シジュウカラの産卵から巣立ちまでを観察する。母鳥は巣箱に苔などを運び、その上に動物の毛など綿状の物をのせて卵が割れないようにすると産卵が始まり、終わってからの14日目、8羽の雛が生まれていた。そこから巣立つまでの20日間、日に日に成長していく小さな命の微細に描かれた姿が実に愛らしい。生命の神秘が眩いばかりの素晴らしい絵本だ。(野上)

In the Birdhouse
Normally, we cannot see what goes on in a bird-house. The author, who has published many books on the shape of birds’ nests in different parts of the world, built a birdhouse against the window of his room, allowing him to carefully observe the be- havior of Oriental tits from the time they laid their eggs until the chicks fledged. On the fourteenth day after the mother had finished laying her eggs in his birdhouse, the author saw eight chicks inside. He sketched their growth in fine detail over the next twenty days until they left the nest. These lovely illustrations grace the pages of this picture book which presents a stunning portrayal of a mother and a father bird protecting and nurturing their young, and of the mystery of life.
