Why this series stands out

Words you can't say hide in little pieces.

For grown-upsThe story's "you" belongs to the child. Right beside it is a seat for the grown-up. A word that will not come is not a flaw to fix; it is part of growing. Instead of speaking for the child, the grown-up can help find the pieces and lend the first voice on "ready — go!"

  1. Try feeling-words — can I borrow it, let me in — out loud once, safely inside the story

  2. That tight feeling when words won't come gets a name — and a chance to feel less alone with it

  3. For days when "go on, say it" is not enough, take home another option: lend the first voice with "ready — go!"

Episodes

Episode 1The Word in PiecesFree to read"Can I borrow it?" — such a small word, and Uta cannot say it. The broken word hides in the sandbox as three sparks of light that only you, the reader, can see. Gather them, join your voice to his on "ready — go!", and help the word reach Akane. A story about the words our feelings are made of.Episode 2The Pieces of "Can We Play Too?"MembersUta and Akane want to join a game of tag, but both of their words break at once. Find three pairs of word-pieces and lend your voice on "ready — go!" What comes back is a real answer: "Join us next round." A story about carrying a wish to someone and making room for their answer, too.

Inside the series world

Say It With Me

At the park, a child stares at a friend's shovel and falls silent — then says the opposite: "I didn't even want it." This series draws that familiar moment from inside the child's throat. The unsaid word becomes pieces of light that only "you," on this side of the story, can see. Find the pieces and join Uta on "ready — go!"; each word Uta manages to carry to someone becomes a new page in the I-Said-It Book.
