I hope you’re enjoying this workshop for children’s book authors. In this next part of the workshop, we’ll look at how to create characters that are memorable. One way to capture children’s attention is to give a character a special feature. Here’s a poster for the book series Barb and Friends. One of the characters always wears a hat―he wears a different hat on every page! Even though he’s not the main character, he’s the most popular. There’re several children’s books on the table at the back of the room. Please spend about ten minutes looking through the books on display. Try to identify the features that make each character unique.

児童書作家の皆さんを対象としたこのワークショップを、お楽しみいただいていますでしょうか。ワークショップの次の部では、記憶に残るキャラクターの生み出し方を見ていきましょう。子どもたちの気持ちを引き付ける1つの方法が、キャラクターに独自の特徴を持たせることです。これはシリーズ本『Barbと仲間たち』のポスターです。キャラクターのうちの1人はいつも帽子をかぶっています―毎ページ違う帽子をかぶっているのです!彼は主人公ではありませんが、最も人気があります。部屋の奥のテーブルの上に、何冊か児童書があります。10分間ほどかけて、展示されている本に目を通してみてください。それぞれのキャラクターを唯一無二のものにしている特徴が何かを、探し出してみてください。

Organic Dream Comes True

VIRGINIA BEACH (Sept. 2) ―Thirty years ago, Archana Misra dreamed of making organic groceries easily accessible for all. She spent ten years finding investors to lend her the money for her first store while she worked as a hospital nutritionist, advising people on their food choices.

“I was always working,” Ms.Misra explained. “Thankfully, my friends and family supported my dream.”

Those early efforts have surely paid off: Full Future Organics is now a successful chain of grocery stores. The four stores have seen exponential growth and Misra has become a star among food aficionados with her widely praised magazine, Well-Seasoned Organics.

In the past year, Full Future Organics has gone beyond groceries and added special features to each location. The Virginia Beach and Norfolk stores were expanded to include open kitchens that offer weekly cooking classes. Last month, the Alexandria location opened a restaurant, Future Plate, located next to the grocery store. The trendy eatery serves upscale dishes in a casual atmosphere, and it has already received rave reviews. Finally, the Richmond store added a bath-and-beauty section. It sells a wide variety of organic products, including shampoos and soaps that are made in-house.

Full Future Organics does not plan on stopping there. Misra and her team are currently working out the logistics of an online grocery store that would service customers throughout Virginia.

オーガニックな夢が叶う

バージニアビーチ (9月2日) ― 30年前、Archana Misraは、誰もが利用しやすい自然食品店を作ることを夢見ていた。彼女は10年かけて1号店に資金を貸してくれる投資家を探した。その間、彼女は病院の栄養士として働き、 食品の選び方について人々に助言をしていた。

「私はいつも働いていました」とMisra氏は説明した。「ありがたいことに、友人や家族が私の夢を支えてくれました」。

そうした初期の努力は確実に報われたのだ。Full Future Organics社は現在、成功を収めている食料品チェーン店だ。4つある店舗は飛躍的な成長を見せ、Misraは、自身が作る、広く称賛されている雑誌Well-Seasoned Organics誌で、料理愛好家たちのスターになった。

過去1年で、Full Future Organics社は食料品店の枠を超えて、各店舗に新たな特色を持たせた。バージニアビーチとノーフォークの両店舗は拡張され、毎週料理教室を行うオープンキッチンを店内に設けた。先月には、アレクサンドリア店が、食料品店の隣にFuture Plateというレストランを開店した。この流行の最先端を行く飲食店はくつろいだ雰囲気の中で高級な料理を提供し、すでに大絶賛されている。最後に、リッチモンド店は入浴・美容関連用品コーナーを新たに設置し、自社生産したシャンプーやせっけんを含む、オーガニック製品を幅広く販売している。

Full Future Organics社は現状にとどまるつもりはない。Misraと社員たちは現在、バージニア州全域の顧客にサービスを提供できるよう、食料品オンラインストアの物流管理を立案している。
