A picture book that conveys love to you today, who smiles like sunshine.

"Today, To You" by Choi Sook-hee, who has been writing picture books to comfort and encourage children for a long time, has been published.
In "Today, To You," the author confesses her heartfelt love to children and precious lives with even warmer gaze and generous embrace.
When you open 『Today, To You』, the child's daily life unfolds one by one from the moment of birth.
The baby, who was an object of great joy and admiration just by eating, pooping, and sleeping, continues to grow by eating, sleeping, crying, laughing, and playing.
When the time comes, we will explore further, communicate, and learn about the world.
The daily life of a child encountered in a book is not much different from that of a child in any other home album.
It's the same old, repetitive routine, the quiet and ordinary-looking growth.
But as the author's recollections and heartfelt words are added to the text, the affectionate gaze and longing feelings he had for the child at that moment come back to life vividly.
As I gaze at the baby's face as it sleeps quietly, I bless the future and smile without realizing it at the child's bright smile. I reflect on how precious, special, and lovely that moment was.
The author delicately captures and depicts the ordinary aspects of life that we take for granted, revealing why these lives are so precious and lovable.
Please hold the child next to you tightly and tell him or her that today, too, you are strong like a seed, bright like sunlight, and shining like a star.
"Today, To You" is a picture book that is perfect for confessing that you love every moment of your child, just as it has from the beginning and still does today.

A picture book to cheer on your future self as you "finally stride forward"

As you turn the pages of the book, which is filled with pictures that naturally capture everyday life, a whole new world unfolds before you.
Children sometimes become seeds that sleep contentedly in the warm soil, and sometimes cry and scream to be left behind.
Enjoy a hearty meal, bury yourself in it, and roll around in the endlessly light and fluffy clouds.
Enjoy freedom by flying through the sky with the wind, and share your heart by talking with other living beings.
Perhaps children come from a 'star' where they are so comfortable, free and full of joy?

The beautiful and delicate world that the author has drawn with all his heart contains the hope that children will live tomorrow like that.
May you have the courage to cry heartily, laugh heartily, play with all your might, live with integrity, and stride boldly into the world with sparkling eyes! "Today, To You" is a picture book that wholeheartedly encourages children to express themselves freely and live their tomorrows with vigor.


A book that encourages all of us who were born bravely and faced the world today.

"Today, To You" is a book that comforts and expresses gratitude not only to children but also to all of us today.
From the moment our infinitely small but distinct lives began in a womb filled with red and blue flowers in full bloom, we, who were 'born bravely' and faced the world, 'breathing and breathing again,' are finally here together today.
If you look back carefully, there must have been moments in that time that could only be called wonders and miracles.
That is why the child who is breathing next to us today, that person, and we ourselves cannot help but be admirable and precious beings.


This book is a message of gratitude from the author, who turned 20 this year, to the lives that become more precious and special with each passing year.
The painting, completed with delicate brushstrokes of thousands or tens of thousands of brushstrokes, is filled with the artist's affectionate heart and sincerity.
With 『Today, To You』, we can breathe together and share warmth today as well, so let's take the time to warmly encourage each other and say, "That's enough," and "Thank you so much."


Author's Note

How grateful we are when our newborn babies eat well, poop well, and sleep well.
That alone makes me happy and proud.
I thought this was true not only for babies but for anyone.
That we are living and breathing together right now
It is truly special, precious and appreciated.
Children and adults who are born into this world and struggle to live,
We will all cheer you on.
We are so strong, so affectionate, and so powerful.
