Why does everything in nature work so well? Why are there things that cause us happiness and sadness? Why do I feel it when other people are in pain...? When she was a child, author Katsuko Yamamoto earned the nickname "Little Miss Why" because she was always asking why. In this book, she talks about what she has learned from children in her 25 years of teaching, and the sadness and strength of people in history. She uses the story of Shunya Miyata, a personal friend who recovered miraculously after a stroke, to point out the infinite possibilities that human beings possess. Through day-to-day events such as this, the author shares "cosmological wisdom" in simple essays that are easy to read. |

| Ms. Katsuko Yamamoto is fondly referred to as Kakko-chan by the many people who love her. Her kindness is so genuine that she is warm to everybody she meets. The title of this book carries the feelings that I always have when I meet Kakko-chan. I hope that everyone who reads the book will feel her warm presence embrace them as they are. |

Katsuko Yamamoto was born in Kanazawa in 1957. After graduating from the Toyama University Department of Science, she began to work at a special education school in Ishikawa Prefecture.
She has spread her message of love all over the country through books and lectures. This message is not only for children: even adults with hardened hearts have opened themselves to this message of love, causing miracles to happen one after the other.
A documentary film about her activities, The Miracle Quarter--It's Real, was completed in 2007. So far, it has been screened on a non-profit basis in over 1,000 locations in Japan and more than 14 countries around the world. Ms. Yamamoto has also written numerous books, including It's the Truth, The Universe Loves Me Today Too, A Story about Mona the Witch (all published by Sangokan), Sadness Is When a Heart Has a Cold (Jushinsha), and Kii (Alice Publishing) among others.
