I admit the reason why I purchased this book is because of the cute cover only! So when I read it, I didn't have high expectations since it meant to be a script instead of fiction.
Mirai is a story about a love that developed slowly between the older brother and the newborn sister.
Kun is three years old when her sister born. Usually having all by himself as a single child, Kun realizes that his parent's attention is no longer 100% for him. His parents seem so busy with their newborn, even grandparents, nobody want to play with him.
Seeking for attention, Kun throws a tantrum, but that even didn't work. Moreover, his parent is shifting their role. Dad will be in charge to take care of them during the day and Mother will go to work.
Everything is not working as Kun wanted but suddenly something magical happened. His dog can talk to him and show him before Kun, Mother, and Dad pour their love to the dog. Kun was stealing their love for the dog. Now Kun can feel what Dog's feeling.
In another occasion, Mirai from the future comes, they have a mission to return the doll to break the curse. Mirai from the future is bigger than Kun and cooler.
Slowly, Kun understands many things in his own way and ready to accept his sister.
Well, the story seems so simple but the Author wrote brilliantly, mix it with a fantasy theme so the -change-to-love process is interesting and entertaining.
This book is a light reading, I can finish it for 3 hours straight and close the book with warm feelings. I recommend this book for a new parent or expectant mother to understand the feeling of 3 years old boy who just have a sister.
On the plus side, I love the detail about Kun's train toys and their new home that seems so cool!
