A spirited adventure story that gives you the courage to take on the world.

Squirrel Evergreen is known for being timid.
There are so many scary things in the forest that I've never been there alone.
But today, Mom sent Evergreen on an important errand.
It was a job to bring acorns containing magic soup to the sick orc grandmother who lived beyond the seagull forest.
Evergreen didn't gain courage easily, but she made up her mind and set out on her journey.

As you delve deeper into the forest, you'll encounter a poor rabbit stuck between rocks, a hawk suffering from a thorn in its wing, and even a loud toad calling for help.
But aren't they all asking Evergreen for help? They need to get the soup to Grandma Oak quickly.
Besides, some people are drooling at the smell of the delicious soup that Evergreen is holding.
Will Evergreen find the courage to help the animals? And will she be able to protect her mother's soup?

Evergreen is timid and fearful, so she often feels afraid that she won't be able to do something before even starting.
But, encouraged by her mother's words, "I know you're afraid, but you can do it!", she sets out on her first errand.
The story of Evergreen, who bravely and courageously carries out her mission despite her fears, gives courage to children who are leaving home and entering the wider world.

A new book by Caldecott Medal winner Matthew Cordell
The tension and emotion created by a great storyteller

Matthew Cordell, who rose to international prominence by winning the Caldecott Medal for his first wordless picture book, fully demonstrates his unique strengths in this new work.
The emotions felt by Evergreen as she embarks on her first adventure, and the suspense that arises from encounters with unfamiliar animals and natural enemies, are vividly depicted, making the reader's heart race.
The various expressions of the characters and tense situations are vividly captured, such as Evergreen's anxious expression when her mother tells her to run an errand, the tense scene of Evergreen and the rabbit running away from their natural enemy, the hawk, and the scene of Evergreen precariously crossing the stepping stones with an acorn filled with soup in her mouth.

When Evergreen overcomes a series of near-misses and finally meets Grandma Oak, readers who have been following her on this thrilling adventure finally feel at ease.
Also, the scene where Evergreen smiles triumphantly after returning home from her adventure, unlike the nervous and anxious expression she had before leaving home, is very touching.

Hand drawing with watercolors added to pen sketch
The taste of a classic picture book divided into chapters

The unmissable charm of Cordell's picture books is the detailed lines drawn by hand with a pen and the illustrations expressed with watercolors.
The delicate and simple illustrations, devoid of flashy techniques, allow you to immerse yourself deeply in the story and carefully observe the various landscapes and animal characteristics.
The eagle's sharp talons, beaked eyes, and large, sickle-shaped wings are depicted in detail, creating the appearance of a menacing predator. The bear's howling appearance is realistically depicted, capturing the intimidating presence of the largest land animal.

In addition to the hand drawings, the format of dividing the story into four chapters is a structure that is not easily seen in picture books these days, so it is a special picture book that may be unfamiliar to children but brings new enjoyment and reminds adults of the memories of classic picture books.

Find the running evergreen and acorn!
The fun of finding hidden pictures

In every corner of the picture, there are little evergreens peeking out or running hard.
And whether he's pushing a rock to save a rabbit stuck between rocks, being snatched by a hawk, or taking a quick dip in a stream, Evergreen always keeps an acorn filled with soup by his side.
It's also fun to try to figure out where the acorns are when Evergreen isn't holding them.
Enjoy the pleasure of discovering hidden pictures that can only be seen if you look closely.
