A children's picture book with very few words and very lovely pictures.
The little girl sees that ants are so small, snakes have no feet; ostriches are birds but cannot fly, and hedgehogs are covered with thorns.
But it's okay! They all have their own strengths. The author believes that everyone is born useful and also wants to tell everyone that every child is the most precious asset in the world, so she wrote this book. Parents can encourage children to objectively know themselves. While discovering and bravely facing their own shortcomings, they should also affirm and actively develop their own advantages.

★An inspirational picture book for young children, allowing children to easily learn to affirm themselves and build confidence.
"The zebra runs, clip-clop. " "Me Too, Me Too! Look, clip-clop." "The skylark sings, chirp chirp." "Me Too, Me Too! Look, la la la." No matter what challenges the little animals give the little girl, they cannot stump her. Although she is small and young, the little girl always believes that she can do what others can do and also tries hard to prove it to everyone.
This is a picture book that children can easily identify with. Young children learn by imitating. This picture book encourages children to learn actively and also makes children feel that the road of learning is full of love and laughter! At the same time, it also allows children to understand the importance of self-affirmation in the relaxed dialogue and gorgeous pictures and form a stubborn personality subconsciously. No matter how big difficulties and challenges they encounter, they are not timid or flinched. They tell themselves "I can do it" and strive to achieve it.
Author's words: "I think humans are comprehensive animals with many animal natures. On the one hand, I hope we can mutually recognize each other's characteristics and build a harmonious society. On the other hand, I hope children can be more confident in their own advantages instead of being bound by their own shortcomings."

★Help children understand and accept their uniqueness through their self-exploration.
Growing children sometimes long to independently complete more things, but sometimes they are reluctant to leave the meticulous care of their parents. And parents of children at this stage have long been accustomed to giving their children too much love. For the children's increasingly strong independent ability and longing for true autonomy, there is not only gratifying joy but also reluctant feelings.
This book presents the subtle changes in all aspects of children's growth process in the form of a dialogue between mother and daughter. The words are full of the mother's endless love and pride for the child, as well as the child's longing and confidence for growth. This is a picture book work very suitable for parent-child reading.
The little girl who comes to the zoo with her mother is aroused great curiosity about her babyhood by her mother's words: "When you were little, you were like that little kangaroo, a little bitty thing." Children all have a babyhood that they can't even remember - "crying non-stop like a little duckling", "with only a small tuft of hair on the head like a little ostrich"... She listens curiously to things about herself when she was little and can't help but giggle. She also doesn't forget to retort, "Was I really like that? But now..." Then she says loudly, "No way! I have grown up!" But has she really completely grown up?
"To be honest, I was a little surprised when I saw the child on the cover because this child is a bit older than the babies in "It's Okay!" and "I Can Do It Too!". From a cute baby with two braids, she has become a beautiful little girl with a pageboy haircut. Sometimes, when seeing children say things that even I didn't expect, I really feel: My child, you have grown up. Mom is proud of you. Mom was clearly a novice mom who was in a flurry at that time. That you can grow up so healthily is really the most gratifying thing for me!"

We all hope that children can grow up happily and have confidence and understand that everyone is the best and unique in this world. We also hope that children can open their hearts and say to the people around them, "Do you want to be my friend?"

There is a compliment and kind word for friends on each page. I hope that after reading this book, everyone can use these compliments and kind words more and listen more, so as to be happier.
The carefully selected words and phrases in the book are not just a pile of languages. They are the cornerstone of building warm and happy interpersonal relationships.

Through 12 Chinese characters: sky, sun, moon, star, cloud, earth, mountain, water, wood, flower, father, mother, and corresponding pictures, the book shows children the shapes and meanings of Chinese characters. These characters represent that we are children of the earth. We like the sun, moon, stars and clouds in the sky, and we like the mountains, waters, flowers and trees on the earth. Children of the earth love their parents and love themselves even more. They expect to have dreams as high as the sky and a heart as broad as the earth.
This book also stimulates children's curiosity about the surrounding world. Through reading, children can comprehend the beauty of Chinese characters in an interesting and natural way and also be able to appreciate beautiful illustrations and stories.

"One Big Egg"
★Recommended book of "Happy Morning Reading"!
★Recommended by the chief editor of Korea's largest bookstore Kyobo Book Center!
Show the joy and touch of "waiting" for a new life.
This is a basic number cognition picture book and also an animal cognition picture book. The author takes ten kinds of "eggs" in nature as the theme and introduces various small lives hatched from them respectively. From the largest egg in the world to the smallest egg, as well as puffin patterned eggs, seagull spotted eggs, etc., the semi-three-dimensional images are drawn in a realistic way to ensure the requirements and accuracy of the picture book.
"On the first morning, a very big egg." "Wait and wait..." "Out it comes, out it comes! A little ostrich comes out!"...
One, two, three... Various eggs of different shapes, sizes and patterns and little animals breaking out of their shells will amaze your eyes. The mystery brought by the clever folding design attracts the baby's attention and stimulates the baby's reading interest, which is more conducive to cultivating the baby's spirit of taking the initiative to approach and explore nature.
The author cleverly conveys the wonder of life with delicate brushstrokes, allowing babies to feel the joy and touch when a new life is born and experience the preciousness and pricelessness of life. Mothers can also relive the meaning of "waiting".

"When I see you"
★Strongly recommended by the chief editors of three major bookstores in South Korea!
★The growth of empathy also indicates the growth of children.
The child on the cover reveals worry and sadness in her eyes, making people wonder what makes her so sad.
This child may be very familiar to many readers because they may have seen her in books such as "It's Okay!", "Do you want to be my friend?", "Me too, me too?".
In this book, the child looks at the world with a more mature eye and begins to learn how to grow together with others and become part of "us".
The child in the book feels deep sympathy for those friends who are suffering. She longs to be able to do something for them. Even if she cannot fully understand or solve their pain, she also hopes to at least give them comfort through empathy and tears.

"Today, I Want to Tell You"
★With its touching language and warm and beautiful pictures, it confesses to every child who is striving to grow up. Without mentioning love at all, every word is the love of parents and relatives for the child. It is not only a book but also a growth record of a child, an emotional sustenance, and a beautiful wish for the child's future.
★It is not only suitable as a bedtime story for children but also a time for parents and children to read together and share love and touch.
From the moment a child is born, their daily life gradually unfolds: eating, playing, sleeping - these simple activities of children are great joys and miracles for parents. The daily life of children depicted in the book is no different from the records in every family album. They are all those seemingly ordinary and repetitive growth moments. But when the author's memories are intertwined with sincere words, the warmth for the child leaps onto the paper. This book makes us realize again how precious, special and lovely those moments are when we quietly look at a sleeping baby or unconsciously smile in front of a child's bright smile. The author carefully captures these precious moments in daily life and shows the preciousness and loveliness of life.
Today, please also hug the child who is as strong as a seed, as brilliant as the sun, and as shining as a star, and tell them your love.
