/ St. Luke's International Hospital is the first Japanese pediatric ward to accept a visit by a therapy dog. This book is an impressive non-fiction book about the lives of four unforgettable children whom the author met while covering about three and a half years from 2007. Two of the four were able to come back alive, but two passed away at a young age. How did the deceased children live in their last days of a short life? Also, how did the discharged children live in their lives from their days in the pediatric ward and how do they live now? What is important for enriching children's lives and promoting their mental growth? Please take the meaning of "children's time" that children spend from the stories of the four people.
