Features: Walnut Mountain, Chestnut Valley, Jujube Forest: This small animal trilogy of love forms a complete natural ecological environment with mountains, forests, and 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 abundant and vivid metaphors, like musical notes, weave a melody; like brushes, they paint colorful scenes—unconsciously drawing readers into the vibrant world of nature. What is particularly moving is the simple yet transparent and profound text. The story features a dancing champion squirrel named Youyou who delivers a prize chestnut to her grandmother. Along the way, the chestnut falls into a crack in the rock. Suggested by her mother, she and her friends plant chestnut trees in the barren valley, creating a king of chestnut trees, and letting the entire mountain be covered with chestnut trees.
