For some reason, I Googled "studio ghibli children's books" and I'm surprised to know that they really have one! Actually, not just one!
I've been a fan of Studio Ghibli ever since I watched Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro. I must say that I didn't grow up watching Studio Ghibli movies, rather, I'm more of the typical anime and Western cartoon kid (thanks to cable network). Dragon Ball, Ghost Fighter, Ranma 1/2, Zenki, Slam Dunk, Cow and Chicken, Dexter's Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls. Enough, let's not give away my age. Haha!
Studio Ghibli basically didn't exist in my young world back then. If I remember it correctly, it was one of my Sunday School teachers who introduced me to Studio Ghibli. (Thank you, Ate Len!)
Now that I'm in the world of children's books as an illustrator, I am ecstatic about Miyazaki's films turned into picture books. I so love the films, but make it a picture book? That's a whole different game.
It's probably not available yet in our local bookstores (I'll have to check). Maybe I can order in Amazon when I have the fund. For now, I only have one art book, which is a gem, too. ♡
