A Sunset to Remember – My father the painter

“What’s this color called?” This is the story of a painter.

The children listened to their father talk about “color” as the setting sun bathed them in its glow.

A painter’s job is to subtly add color to landscapes and everyday life.

But the children didn’t really understand what their father did for a living, coming home every day with paint on his clothes and face.

One day, looking at the bright red sunset filling the sky, their father had an idea.

“Color is a gift from the sun.”

There are so many colors in nature.

The color of the sky, the color of the soil, the color of the grass.

And their names, too, are born from nature.

Why are they this color?

What’s the name of this color?

With each turn of the page, the children’s curiosity expands.

What their father wanted to convey wasn’t just about color.

It was about the beauty of nature beyond that, and the importance of cherishing it.

From that day on, the children grew to love their father’s work and the colors of Japan.

The scenery they casually looked at began to look a little different—this book offers such a gentle transformation.

After finishing it, you’ll want to talk with your children about the colors of the sky and the colors around you.

This is a book that will add another layer of conversation between parents and children.
