Features: Some books require you to read them properly to appreciate their essence, but this one allows you to read it casually, starting from any section, because when the world was small, things had no fixed boundaries, and the heart was soft. Recommended by writers Zhao Li Hong, Mei Zi Han, Liu Xu Yuan, and Yin Jian Ling. Awarded the 1996 German Youth Literature Prize and the Swiss Youth Literature Prize, it received high praise in Europe and is hailed as a literary treasure that combines "picture and text."
Onions, radishes, and tomatoes do not believe that there is such a thing as a pumpkin in the world. They think it is just a fantasy. The pumpkin does not speak and grows silently. A book that can be read again and again, cleans the heart, and allows one to return to their true self. A book that blends insight and comfort, tranquility and reflection. Those who daydream are usually people with clean hearts, preserving the dreams and clarity of childhood. Most people suffer from insomnia during the day, concerned with their schedules and some numbers related to money. Ursula K. Le Guin also misses the past and is dissatisfied with reality, but she is not angry or feigns sadness. She simply lives in her own world as a child, revealing the riddles of a wise person, and dreaming her sweet and happy daydreams. — China Reading News
Heaven is such a world—as the world was when she was small. With the passage of time, everything has changed. What follows is actually well-known, but Le Guin’s surprising, fairy-tale-like stories will not let you predict the ending in advance. You must be patient. We discover stories in simple yet mysterious things, such as: where animals get their names and how to receive help and happiness. Whoever reads this book will be amazed, as it is filled with beautiful inspiration.
