A new storyteller arrives! The world of insects, as told by Mr. Dalpong.

"Fix It All! Dalpong Hospital" is written in the form of a story told by Dr. Dalpong.
It's interesting that the director of a hospital that many patients visit is a snail, which is synonymous with 'slow insect'.
It seems to remind us of the need for careful and meticulous examination rather than the 'speed' we emphasize.
While the story of healing injured creatures is nothing new, it offers a special experience by setting up a world of insects that is no different from the human world, putting us in the position of listening to the insects' story.
The world of insects depicted by the author has the same hardships and worries of life as ours, the daily routine of a family, and the whining of a child who wants to play.
When you are sick, you go to the hospital, and the doctor does his best for the patient.
Not everything happens quickly and accurately like in the human world, but rather, the gaps are filled with the spirit of helping each other.
It's like sparrows acting as emergency responders for insect patients.


Full of warm pictures and fun imagination!

There are also many lovable characters in this book.
Of course, Mr. Dalpong, who leads the story, as well as his nephew Dalgong, who goes around every corner of the forest to spread the word about the hospital, Chirp Chirp, the leader of the emergency response team, and Gam Gam, who struggles to save his mom and dad, are all expressed lovingly with warm colors.
The 'Heal It All Dalpong Hospital' where dung beetles, bees, martens, sparrows, and cranes each take on a role and work, and the methods of treating a couple of ants whose bodies have become flattened, such as herbal treatment and liquid therapy, are full of fun imagination.


Children who listen to Mr. Dalpong's story will feel the same sadness as Gamgae, who complains to his mom and dad that he wants to go out and play because work is hard, and they will earnestly hope for the recovery of the ants, laugh at the humor that pops up here and there, and close the book with a feeling of immense satisfaction.

A picture book that reminds us of the preciousness of even the smallest life.

"Fix It All! Dalpong Hospital" makes us reflect on our attitude toward small lives.
The carelessness of humans, as well as the pity felt for insects that get hurt by curious pranks, gave rise to "Fix It All! Dalpong Hospital."
Above all, we can empathize and understand the stories of tiny insects better by comparing them to our world.
How terrified and fearful would we be if our parents were in critical condition? The desperate sight of Gaemi, Gaemi, heading to the hospital to save his parents brings a warm glow to our faces.
Because we come to realize that ants are living creatures just like us, who feel pain when they get hurt and are afraid of losing their mom and dad.
So, Mr. Dalpong's words, "I hope there are no sick insects even if the door is closed," leave a deep impression.
The request, “If you see friends who bully other living beings, tell them this story,” poses a question to us as we close the book.
Are we people who cherish small lives and are kind to small creatures?

How to respect others

There is no easier way to understand someone than to put yourself in their shoes.
This is because consideration and understanding grow from the realization that the other person is just like us.
Beyond the message that we should cherish small creatures, this book reminds us of how we should treat others in all relationships, something that is most important in relationships but often forgotten.
Realizing that the other person—even if they're an ant—has a family like mine and feels the same way, and trying to put yourself in their shoes.
This book can be the first step toward learning and realizing such a mind.
