Description
This book is based on the author’s own experience seeing different aspects of herself in the various characteristics exhibited by animals. Asked the question, “Who are you?” twelve animals, including a deer, a flying fish, and a polar bear, talk about themselves. After the animals head off somewhere, leaving behind only footprints, and once again the question is asked; then a child appears, greeting the animals and talking about herself. What are the words that brings a sense of fulfillment, along with a surprising twist? The sweet, tender words and the beautiful watercolor illustrations, full of warmth, say that everyone has different sides to them, which together make them whole, and that accepting this brings peace and fulfillment. This is a lovely picture book that lets readers think about and express themselves in different ways, and most importantly, value themselves.
Written and illustrated by Kim Hee-kyeong
