Features: The protagonist of this book, Ferdinand, is a stubborn little boy who likes to make decisions based on his own judgment. However, these judgments and decisions are often wrong or hidden, and he himself is unaware of this. For example, he knows the principle that "one should not lie." But when faced with people or things he dislikes or finds annoying, his parents tell him about politeness, which makes Ferdinand learn about "relativity" from a different perspective. Sometimes, the truths that parents understand may not seem the same to children, and parents may not be able to understand a child's thoughts because those seemingly logical things indeed require children to think about them repeatedly and practice them. This book provides a kind of "transfer station" space for both children and parents.
