This "Children's Book Special" website, organized by Isetan Shinjuku Store, compiles information on the Kids' Book Fair held in 2016. In addition to introducing popular children's books and picture books of the time, the site also features talk events with authors and storytelling sessions.
The key point of the special feature was "book selection with an emphasis on children's perspectives," recommending works on the themes of "the joy of growing up," "connections with other people," and "diversity in the world.
