The most suspicious Santa in the world
The rabbit family who had been eagerly waiting for Christmas appeared before us!

Late at night, a cold and hungry fox roams the village.
Drawn by the warm light, the fox walks towards the rabbit's house at the entrance to the village.
The fox sneaks into the rabbit's house and finds the things he needs.
I'm talking about things like fur hats, coats, and fur boots that are essential for surviving the cold winter.
The fox runs around the house excitedly, then finally enters the kitchen in search of food.
I was very hungry because I had been starving for several days.
The fox, who found a delicious-looking sandwich, sprinkles his favorite pepper on it.
But... did I put too much pepper on this? My nose is itchy and I'm starting to sneeze.
It was a sneeze so loud it shook the whole house! The whole rabbit family woke up at the sound.
Before the fox could even hide itself.


To try to escape the situation, the fox introduces himself to the rabbit family as 'Santa'.
The more you look at Santa, the more suspicious he becomes.
Will the rabbit family be able to have the Christmas they've been dreaming of?

In the spirit of Christmas
Tolerance and consideration, sharing and forgiveness,
And a gift bag full of laughter

The baby bunnies who woke up in the middle of the night are very excited to hear that Santa has arrived.
The fox is very embarrassed because everyone welcomes him without exception.
At first, he pretended to be Santa to avoid an awkward situation, but as he looked into the baby rabbits' bright eyes, his feelings became complicated.
The fox, in an effort to preserve the pure faith of the baby rabbits, gives them the items in the bundle as if they were Christmas presents.
But when it's the youngest rabbit's turn, the items in the bundle are gone.
The rabbits are very lucky.
Only then does the fox truly give the gift he can give.
It's a Christmas song sung directly.
At that moment, the fox becomes a real Santa, and the baby rabbits have a more joyful Christmas Eve than ever.

So, did the fox just fool the clumsy rabbit family into thinking they were being treated well? No.
"Somehow Santa" is a story about a rabbit family who, in keeping with the spirit of Christmas, pretend not to know and show generosity to a fox.
It is also a story that is desperately needed in this era where tolerance, consideration, sharing, and forgiveness are desperately needed.
I hope this book can bring a warm smile to children's faces this Christmas season.
After reading a book, it would be wonderful if you could look around and see the world with warm eyes, even if only for a moment.

Unfolded as paper art
A cheerful and warm Christmas story!

'Is Santa really here?' Every December, children around the world debate this question.
Whether or not there is a Santa Claus who knows everything about who is a good kid and who is a bad kid.
Even those who believe in the nonexistence of Santa Claus, whether children or adults, secretly hope that something good will happen each year when the Christmas season rolls around.
I'm talking about the miracle of Christmas.


Author Park Seong-ik also said that he dreamed of the miracle of Christmas while eating the Christmas cake his mother baked for him as a child.
And as time passed and I was reminiscing about my loving childhood, one day I felt like I wanted to tell my story in a picture book to children.
And that too, with paper art work created by hand, scene by scene.
In a world where everything is produced too quickly and forgotten too quickly, I wanted to look back on the value of handcrafted work that is a little slower but more affectionate.

The author's upright philosophy of work can be found throughout the book.
Amazingly, everything you see in this book, from the cover to the pages, was created by the author's hands.
From a Christmas wreath made by cutting and pasting individual leaves from colored paper, to a fireplace made by stacking painted and cut stones one by one like a bricklayer, to an embroidered picture frame hand-embroidered by the artist's mother...
The scenes themselves, made by painting, folding, and pasting paper, are impressive, but the humorous situations that unfold in each scene bring out warm laughter.


The more you read this book, the more its value is revealed.
The more you look into it, the more you discover new and fresh images and situations, as if you were discovering hidden treasures.
Perhaps this is the author's Christmas gift to us all.
Even with his first illustrated book, artist Park Seong-ik has showcased a world of high-quality paper art, and we are already eagerly awaiting his next work.
