Description

The Needle is a picture book like a stepping stone that allows children to overcome fear and move on to their own paths of growth. It explores the possibility that the natural environment destroyed by human desire can revive if there is hope. The story, where little Yooni meets a needle person and grows up, and meets a needle child and wakes up to a new hope, is both mythical and fantastic. Writer Yeo rim Yoon, who is loved by many readers for her interesting stories with warm emotions, seriously  reflects on human hopes and possibilities to embrace and heal the wounded nature in this picture book. In addition, illustrator Ye-jin Mo, who has been selected as the Illustrator of the Year at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair, richly expresses the real world with detailed pencil lines of monotone and the fantasy world with a variety of green colors. As a result, the book’s theme, which raises hope in fear, is nicely  embodied.
