👵 A Heartwarming Story About Mariko and Her Grandma

Mariko loves spending time with her grandma.

When she comes home from school, they are usually together. They go for walks—even on rainy days—visit the mountains, travel together, and enjoy doing origami.

One day, Mariko comes home, and her grandma is nowhere to be found. She goes into the kitchen, has a drink and looks into her glass. Suddenly, something surprising happens—Mariko can see herself and her grandma reflected inside it.

But where is Grandma?

This warm Level 7 Japanese Reader combines a simple but meaningful narrative with colorful illustrations, helping learners follow the story while developing their Japanese reading fluency.

The story concludes with a simple but powerful sentence:

まりこは おばあちゃんが 大好きです
