Specification Momo has become a picture book! (30 pages, full ruby)
A girl who lives in a dilapidated open-air theater on the outskirts of town. Although she was thought to be suspicious at first, many people came to see Momo. This is because Momo is good at listening to people. When people talk to Momo, they can clearly understand what they want to do or realize their mistakes. Eventually, even the canary, which has stopped singing, and the rain and wind begin to talk to Momo... This is a picture book version planned to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the publication of Michael Ende's masterpiece.
