Features: The Walnut Mountain, The Chestnut Valley, The Jujube Forest: This small animal trilogy of love forms a complete natural ecological environment with mountains, forests, and river valleys. From here, we can hear the wind rustling through the valleys and forests, coming through the deep grass; we can hear the call from the heart of a fairy-tale writer about "land ethics" and "ecological conscience." It is a work full of childlike charm and love. The book uses numerous vivid and appropriate metaphors, like musical notes, weaving a melody; like brushes, painting colorful scenes—unconsciously drawing readers into the lively world of nature. What is particularly moving is the simple yet transparent and profound text.
A fire took the life of Benben the bear's mother. With the encouragement of the swan, Benben picks himself up and not only manages to survive a cold winter but also strives to learn how to sing, eventually rescuing his father, who was trapped by the old wolf.
Author's Quote: "A heart that doesn't seek to take but only to give is always joyful."
