April's “Recommended Children's Book of the Month” (Navi: Yuko Fujiki) is “Rule!” written by Junko Kudo and published by Kodansha, whose story is about junior high school students who stood up to change unreasonable school rules with their own hands. Chiri, a second-year junior high school student who belongs to the literature club, is humiliated by an incident at school. This incident triggers a dialogue between her fellow members of the literature club as well as the student council and the school, to revise the school rules. This is a work that will make you think the importance of not leaving questions unanswered and not taking things for granted with the changing times.

The author is Ms. Junko Kudo, a popular children's literature author who has written many works for children set in schools, including “Tonari no Kaseijin”, “Ashita mata Gakko de”, “Saiko no Tsuchihyou” which was selected as one of the “World Children's Books 2022” by JBBY and “Daremo Inai Kyoshitsu de,” a popular work depicting bullying issues from the perspectives of both perpetrators and victims (all above published by Kodansha). At the end of this program, we will introduce a letter from the author, Ms. Junko Kudo, to Sakura Radio listeners! Please listen to the end of the program.
