More-igami

By Dori Kleber, Illustrated by G. Brain Karas (Candlewick Press – 2016)

Joey loves things that fold: maps, beds, accordions….When a classmate’s mother turns a plain piece of paper into a beautiful origami crane, his eyes pop. Maybe he can learn origami, too. If he wants to be an origami master, he needs practice and patience. After his practice and patience as folding many napkins of his neighborhood Mexican Restaurants and repeating so many times, finally he can fold a crane!

Joeyは地図やベットやアコーデオンの様に、折りたたんだものが大好きだ。ある日クラスメートの母親が一枚の紙から素敵な折り紙の鶴を折るのを見た彼は、すっかり折り紙に魅了された。自分も折り紙を覚えたいと思ったが、それには練習と忍耐が必要だと教わった。メキシコレストランのナプキンを沢山折りながら、忍耐強く練習を重ねた彼は、とうとう鶴を折ることが出来た。
