Features: This is a truly delightful book. It consists of simple and basic shapes, everyday objects, yet with just a few strokes, it brings forth such rich things and illustrations. It's quite surprising. If you stand in the place of children with enthusiasm, you'll surely feel a mix of amazement and excitement. Children will say, "Wow, I can draw too!" Because each shape and object in the book is just the beginning of the imagination; it's impossible to complete it. What follows this starting point should be the children's imagination—their soaring and landing of thoughts. Thus, we might be surprised and excited to see the creations that come next, their reasonable creations and their illogical scribbles. But as long as those scribbles come from their passion and attention, from rising inspiration and soaring creativity, then the existence and logic of their creations become undeniable. Because for the excellence of an individual, the leadership of a nation, and the perfection of the world, the enduring passion for imagination and the myriad inspirations that reach us are the first things. Outstanding personal stories begin this way, and great human progress is also driven by this.
This is not just a book about painting. It is a holistic nurturing for the child reading it. It nurtures passion and eagerness, spatial awareness and unexpected creativity, observation and the recreation of impressions, the recognition of colors and the re-creation of aesthetics, the boundless thirst for thinking, and at the same time, it nurtures the initial knowledge of the philosophy of endless things. There is much more nurturing waiting to be seen in the expressions and spirits of the children who are eager to read and imagine alongside us.
In our childhood, we didn't have such reading, no such imaginative guidance, no such joy in imagination that was awakened through guidance. So, it's a great regret—something that can never be made up for. That's why I recommend this kind of reading and joyful imagination. It's so that children can be satisfied with this opportunity, begin a new path of exceptional growth, and in the future, have fewer unnecessary regrets and memories. This is my heartfelt intention!
