SUMO books giveaway [CLOSED]

September 7, 2021

Today is the birthday for my newest book babies SUMO COUNTING and SUMO OPPOSITES! I’m doing a little giveaway on Instagram, but in case you’re not on the ‘gram, I’m offering up the chance to win a set of these darling sumo books here on the blog.

These bright, cheery board books are ideal for babies, toddlers and beyond! I loved every moment of creating them. To enter the giveaway, simply leave a comment and I’ll select a winner this Friday, September 10th.

On IG, I asked about favorite seasons. If you would like something specific to comment about, how about a beloved book from your childhood? I gobbled up Japanese comic books and folk tales as a kid.

International entries are welcome, and I can’t wait to see who wins! Good luck!

    Congratulations Sanae! A little while back I bought Little Kunoichi for my friends’ little girl and she loved it. Can’t wait to get Sumo Counting and Sumo Opposites.

    Such a great milestone for you, congratulations!
    My fave book as a child was The Emperor’s New Clothes. I still love it today and I’ve searched for it to show my kids but haven’t been able to find it!
