Task: To design the book.

Result: The first edition was sold out within one month. The ad from the book brought two new franchises to Baby Club.

“Kindergarten Is Too Late” by Masaru Ibuka was first published in Russian in 1991. It inspired certain people with ideas of early childhood development, who then founded Baby Club. Now it’s time to republish this book to reach as many parents as possible. In our studio we created the cover, drew illustrations, made the layout and prepared the book for printing.

The book's title in Japanese encourages you to learn something new
