Additionally, while portraying the social relationships between characters well, it never loses its warm gaze on those around it.
The everyday life topics that children easily encounter are transformed into wonderful stories through the visit of the talking cat, ‘Kkamnyang.’
“The character of the sly, cunning, and haughty cat is very lovable and cute.” _Judges’ Comments (Kim Ok, Kim Je-gon, Ahn Mi-ran, Won Jong-chan)

Anything, anywhere, swish!
―The birth of a lovely and cute all-purpose problem-solver cat.

The main character of ‘Cat Problem Solver Kkamnyang’ is ‘Kkamnyang’.
This cat is about a year and a half old and is a bit chubby.
As the name suggests, the entire body is black except for the face, stomach, and legs.
He can talk to people, he can read books well, and he is also a good dancer.
He is strong enough to lift heavy loads easily.
Personality is difficult to describe in one word.
Kamnyang is shy but kind.
Every time someone asks for a favor, he gets annoyed, but in the end, he doesn't refuse and instead grants them all.
Kamnyang is rough but affectionate.
Although he will never allow anyone to touch his tail, he is also very witty, enough to show up at the apartment security office on a rainy day and ask the security guard to let him stay for the night.
The cat is annoying but lovable.
Although he complains about the side dishes when he gets food, he is warm-hearted enough to help people with their work and cherish the gifts he receives by putting them in his travel bag.
So, the cat is strange and charming.
Sometimes, Kkamnyang feels like a friend, sometimes like an older brother or older sibling, and sometimes like an adult similar to a parent.
Of course, I feel like he's much younger than me.
In this way, the mysterious cat, Kkamnyang, made its first appearance before the eyes of young readers.
Young readers will fall in love with Kkamnyang as they watch his charming appearance.

The pages will turn as lightly as a cat's footsteps!
―A story that brings the joy of reading

Just as the main character, Kkamnyang, appears in the apartment and runs from house to house with light steps, the bookshelves of 『Kkamnyang, the Cat Problem Solver』 also turn over lightly.
Kamnyang likes to stay still, but when a situation arises where he is needed, he jumps right into solving the problem without hesitation.
The scenes of struggling and struggling will make you laugh, and the scenes of solving problems in unique and effective ways will naturally bring a smile to your face.
The space where Kkamnyang's activities unfold also attracts readers' interest.
Apartments are the most representative residential space in our country, but they have not appeared frequently in children's literature.
Moreover, most fairy tales featuring animals were set in nature or rural villages.
However, Kamnyang is set in an urban space called an apartment.
I sleep in the security office and take the elevator up and down the apartment.
The activities of Kamnyang, which take place in a familiar space rather than a place far from the children's lives, will be realistically relatable to young readers.
Artist Kim Jae-hee's drawings, which beautifully portray a cute and lovable cat that is both proud and sassy, ​​are also impressive.
Additionally, the song modeled after Kamnyang adds to the pleasure of reading the book.

As for me, I'm a cat problem solver.
I'm not a house cat, I can be anywhere
I can leave whenever I want, but I stay because of you.

Something exciting, fun, and enjoyable is coming soon!
―Happiness, laughter, and hope

Kamnyang is a stray cat.
Since I don't have a home, I have to find a place to sleep on rainy days.
Gifts received for helping people with their work should be carried around in a travel bag.
Every day we have to find something to eat.
Besides, you sometimes meet people who hate cats.
But Kamnyang is not discouraged or intimidated.
There is no grimace or hesitation.
Always confident and self-assured.
Rather, if there is a place where help is needed, I run to it without hesitation.
Go to a house where there are only children and play with them until their mother comes home, and visit a house where a child is practicing dancing and teach them not only how to dance well but also how to dance quietly.
He also helps delivery men carry luggage.
Kamnyang happily helps people and solves problems.
However, he does not show off his abilities.
He solves everything with a light heart as if it were no big deal.
If you follow Kamnyang's positive words and actions, you will soon feel the anticipation that exciting, fun, and enjoyable things will happen.
Kamnyang's positive energy will be fully conveyed to young readers.

“I have never felt sad or in pain since I was born.
There are times when I'm cold, hungry, and sick, but even in those moments, I don't lose hope.
“If you overcome difficult times, something exciting, fun, and enjoyable will definitely happen.” From “Kkamnyang’s Words”
