Description

Where do all the items we use and enjoy on a daily basis come from?

A curious child starts the day with a riddle-like remark: "when I wake up in the morning, I wear a flower." As the reader flips the page reflecting on the meaning, the protagonist shares her short reasoning: "what I mean is... the clothing that once was a flower." This witty and brilliant imagination of wearing a flower is based on the fact that her cotton shirt is made of a cotton flower. A lot of things we use in our day to day life comes from nature.

The child in the book imagines the origin of clothes, glass, paper, alt, and electricity as she encounters these items throughout the day. Let's follow the child's repeated remark "what I mean is" to understand her brilliant reasoning. Readers will realize that many items we consume and use are gifts from nature. This book reminds us how our lives are closely connected with nature, thereby expanding the readers' understanding of natural circulation and environmental issues.
