Publisher's Review
■ The beak fell off the duck's body?
Achievements in lower grade literature that stand out for their linguistic imagination and wit
This work is a story that newly unravels the meaning of oral proverbs such as 'Only the mouth is trembling' or 'Only the mouth is alive'.
The setting where a gossipy duck is chased by a hunter and its beak separates from its body, becoming the character 'Duck Beak' is unique and interesting.
After learning that all you need to do to tell the world interesting stories is to use your mouth, Ori Beak starts to go around the neighborhood with just his beak and tell stories in a more exciting and lighthearted way.
The author's unbridled imagination, which extends from a network of linguistic meanings, will allow young readers to easily and enjoyably immerse themselves in the story.
■ A story about rumors and truth
“Words without certainty are like the passing wind.”
The unconfirmed rumors have already spread, causing the field mouse to be ostracized and the apron chef to close his restaurant.
The hunter who shoots better than anyone else is teased by the forest animals as a coward who only carries a gun.
It all started with a single thoughtless or humorous remark.
The Apron Chef, while chasing a duck's beak, happens to meet a field mouse who is currently upset by the rumors and offers him comfort.
The warm comfort offered by the apron chef is full of insight that resonates deeply.
“Words without certainty are like the passing wind.”
“The wind?”
“Yeah, wind.
It passed me by, but no one knows what it looked like.
“How ridiculous is it to spread that so freely?”
“Then what should I do when the wind blows?”
“Well, if the wind comes to you, just stop for a moment.
Then the wind will have already run away to tell you a bad story.
They say you can't stop the wind from blowing.
But you must remember.
That it's not your fault.
“The problem was the wind blowing wildly.”
In his note, the author confesses that he too was once upset by unfounded rumors a long time ago.
Also, if you have a friend who is alone because of absurd rumors, I suggest that you ask them, “Are you okay?” with courage like a “ladybug.”
Readers of 『The Duck Beak Story』 will be able to empathize more deeply than anyone else that this alone can be a great strength.
