It's My Rubber Bandi: Shinsuke Yoshitake
by Shinsuke Yoshitake
Age Range: Under_5
A child picks up a rubber band that falls out of the rubbish bin and asks her mother if she can keep it. “Yay! I have a rubber band! This is MY rubber band!” The child has always wanted something that was just hers. Now for the first time, she has something that is hers alone – it’s not her brother’s hand-me-downs; nor something that has to be shared or something that can only be borrowed for a while. “This rubber band is just for ME and not for anyone else!”
It’s My Rubber Bandi is a charming picture book by Japanese author and illustrator Shinsuke Yoshitake, translated by Sofiane Kohen. An original story with simple, expressive language and a mix of pen-and-ink and watercolour artwork shows the importance for a child of having something of their own as well as the pleasure that can be found from everyday items when the power of the imagination is deployed.
