It features beautiful illustrations, simple language, and easy-to-understand lessons, making it an excellent reference for parent-child reading or early education. "The Dad Who Has Magic" is a story about a child's emotional growth, a bit melancholic yet very beautiful. The little pig "discovers" Dad's magic: Dad can fix the little pig made of cloth and the toy airplane! The little pig feels excited and proud, and gains an overwhelming sense of "security"—fearing nothing he breaks, because "My dad has magic." The help, protection, and even indulgence adults provide to children, as well as children's admiration and dependence on adults, all make them feel safe, happy, and harmonious. Before encountering the injured little bird, both the little pig and Dad should have felt safe, happy, and harmonious too. But some facts—such as death—shatter this feeling. Children are innocent, and the fact that Dad has "magic" will never change. He might not even realize that there are times when Dad is helpless. The topic of life may be heavy, but it is a compulsory lesson for children's growth. May this story guide more children to experience the value of life and grow from it.
