This hardcover gift book from Japanese illustrator Rurutea features 300 charming illustrations of Koupen-chan and friends enjoying the simple joys in life and showing up for one another with a hug and an encouraging word.

Each page has an uplifting message such as:

Great job taking it easy! You ate breakfast! I'm proud of you! Getting stuff done on a Saturday? You're amazing. Doing things the usual way is good enough. Fantastic job studying! I'm cheering for you!

Koupen-chan's cute friends include Adelie, a tough-talking penguin who likes to cook; Evil Enaga, a cute bird plotting to take over the world; and Polar Bear, who is always ready to share a wise lesson. They bring gentle humour to the book, reminding us that life can be complicated and challenging but also deeply fulfilling when you accept yourself as you are.
