Plastics are indispensable in our everyday lives, so I hope that we will think twice about their use and use them more responsibly. I've been writing children's books for a long time since studying physics and early childhood education in college. Some of the titles include, `Let's Go, Science Camp Apache!-Mission: Separating Mixtures,' `We're Going On a Hunt,' `The Tale of Four Friends,' `Everyone's Stirring--It's Spring'. I was sad to learn that fish and other sea creatures are harmed by the plastics we throw away. Because plastics provide so much convenience in our lives, it is all the more important for us to dispose of them properly. I studied illustration. I've been working as an illustrator of children's books. Some of the titles I've worked on include, `What's There, Beyond The Sky?,' `Mozart Opera', and `A City's Tales'.
