This was my second novel I finished in Japanese, and it was extremely cute! It has a bunch of small chapters, each with a lesson that クーク learns about friendship, family, and live struggles. Each chapter, after playing with his friends in the forest, he goes back to his family's restaurant and cooks with his parents. They use food and cooking to help him understand and overcome hard things in his life! Was a bit repetitive, but it's supposed to be. The repetitiveness helped with new vocabulary!
