Madogiwa no Totto-chan = Totto-chan: The Little Girl at the Window, Tetsuko KuroyanagiTotto-chan, the Little Girl at the Window is a children's book written by Japanese television personality and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Tetsuko Kuroyanagi. The book was published originally as "Madogiwa no Totto-chan" in 1981, and became an instant bestseller in Japan.

در مدرسه ی توموئه (توموئه در زبان ژاپنی معنی خاصی ندارد، یک شکل است. دایره ای با علائمی شبیه کاما در درون دایره) دانشآموزان اجازه داشتند روی هر موضوعی که به آن علاقمند هستند، کار کنند، آنجا آموزگاران درس نمیدهند و هیچ دانش آموزی شعر تکراری نمیخواند. جاذبه و انگیزه بچه های مدرسه ی توموئه به سمت چیزهای نوظهور است. از هر تجربه تازه ای به شدت استقبال میشود. تمرکز روی محیط پیرامون است، نه آنچه که در کتابهای درسی نوشته شده است. آزادی ذهن در مدرسه، تا آنجا پیش میرود، که حتی کلاسها هم، مانند واگن قطار چیده شده اند. به این ترتیب همه ی دانش آموزان توان گزینش دارند. در واقع مدرسه ی رویایی داستان واقعی شیوه ی آزاد آموزش و پرورش ژاپن را روایت میکند. نویسنده در چنین مدرسه ای درس خوانده است. تتسوکو کورویاناگی که نام رسمی توتوچان نویسنده ی کتاب است، خاطرات خود را در کتابی با عنوان: «توتوچان؛ دخترکی آن سوی پنجره» گردآوری کرده است. توتوچان کتاب را به مدیر مدرسه تقدیم میکند. در آن زمان مدارس زیر نظر آموزش و پرورش ژاپن قرار داشتند، اما کوبایاشی، مدیر و طراح مدرسه، طرحی نو درانداخت. مدرسه ای آزاد را بنا نهاد، که در آن به سرشت و طبیعت پاک کودک، بها داده میشود. کتاب راهنمای جالبی برای والدین، معلمان و مدیران است. این کتاب، نه تنها در ژاپن پرفروش بوده، بلکه در سراسر جهان، به چند زبان برگردان شده، و جزو کتابهای پرفروش است. کتاب، راهنمای عملی مفید است، و میتوان ایده های نو و جذابی برای کودکان از آن برداشت کرد. ا. شربیانی

Very cute story about a super cute japanese girl (about 6 years old) that goes to a new school and the "adventures" she has there. Everyday stories of japan in (i guess) 30s.I wish it was translated in greek so that I could have read it as a kid.This is a charming memoir by a famous Japanese television personality about her time at the wonderfully unconventional school she attended in Tokyo in the early 1940s. At Tomoe School, there were no buildings as all the classrooms were in disused railroad cars, children were encouraged to study what they wanted when they wanted, in the warm weather they all swam nude in the pool without self consciousness, they learned respect for themselves and for each other, and apparently most of them grew
i was surprised that despite the fact that i used to hear about totto-chan quite a lot when i was growing up, i never actually read the book until now. no wonder this story is being used as a part of the education syllabus in japan! at first, totto-chan reminded me of roald dahl's beloved character, matilda but this one has a better ring on the whole 'when grown-ups fail to understand a kid who's smarter than they are' concept because it was based on the true story!!! the train school indeed
How much better the world will be if parents and teachers could see what this book tries to say so beautifully! Totto-chan is a story that, if understood in spirit, would result in children who grow up to be sensitive adults and an education that equips children with the learning about themselves and forming healthy relationships with the world around them, and not merely with the expertise in passing this examination, and topping that. Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, I love you for having written this.
It made my eyes water
Gosh at last i finished this book, took me 2 days to finish. And here is my reviewSplendid and awesome, highly recommended to those who are interested in childhood story and education.Totto chan is a girl that full of passions and very active. With such personal traits it is not easy for a traditional school to educate her. She ended up being expelled from her first school because the teacher just couldnt manage her, she is such a nuisance to the others. Teachers eventually gave up on her and
One of the most beautiful books I have ever read and re-read a thousand times. For a long time, Totto-Chan defined the ideal childhood for me. It's been almost 15 years since I last read it but I still remember Takahashi, Osaka, Master Kobayashi and many more. Totto-Chan was one of my most intimate (albeit imaginary)childhood friends. Read this book to go back to the halcyon, carefree, sun-lit days of those innocent years.
