Book Introduction
How did you start your morning this morning?
We invite you to join Mr. Togo and Mr. Nobyeol on their magical journey!


When I open my eyes to the beeping, beeping alarm sound, a new day begins.
Spring, summer, fall, winter, the seasons flow by without your noticing, changing their appearance like a stage backdrop being installed every moment. What changes have there been in the expression on your face as you greet the morning and the steps you take as you leave the house?

In "Running," Mr. Togo encounters a clear sky on a congested road.
The cars lined up in a row are of different colors and types, but the expressions on the faces of those in the cars, including Mr. Togo, are filled with impatience and boredom.
Just then, Mr. Togo follows the navigation machine's voice, guiding him to a new route, and turns onto a quiet road.
How could I escape the traffic jams I'd been accustomed to so cleanly and dramatically? A place I'd always been, but now I found a new route I'd never known about? And now, the Nobyeolli Navigator popped up in my now-dead navigation system!

The special journey of Nobyeol and Tugo begins in a hazy, dreamlike state! What awaits Tugo, weary of everyday life?

Publisher's Review
A picture book about driving that gives you a cool breeze and relaxation.

Mr. Togo, who followed Nobyeol's guidance and passed through the tunnel as if possessed, spends a time of sweet rest and comfort in the feast of flowers and trees cheering him on, the warmth of a cloud bed that wraps him in a sound sleep, and a special lunch box from the 'best restaurant on earth'.
Mr. Togo's face, with his belly sticking out towards the sky and a big smile on his face, gives off a sense of leisure and happiness as if he is embracing the world.


As the wind blows past my ears, as the birds chirp ceaselessly, as the leaves rustle and beckon, as the clouds drift quietly by, as if telling a story, when I watch “Running,” I feel like I’m riding along in Mr. Togo’s car.


Now, Mr. Nobyeol and Mr. Togo run happily on the open road.
Take a break from the duties and worries that have been slowly gnawing at your heart, and immerse yourself in the warmth and feel of the sea water at your feet, the sound of the waves, and the sea breeze on your cheek.


“You can go anywhere along that road.
“Where should we go now?”

Mr. Nobyeol asks Mr. Togo, who had been asking him where he was going, a question in return.

Where will Mr. Togo run now? His footsteps and his back are quite lively.
Even if the hellish train that feels like a bean sprout steamer, the pressure of work that never lessens no matter how much you do, the exam schedule that makes your heart race, worries about your future vision, and the resentment towards family and friends who don't understand your heart cast a shadow over your daily life, if you keep running, you will sometimes meet Mr. Nobyeol who will accompany you on your 'new path', right?

For everyone who is still running hard

“Everything will be okay.
With Mr. Togo, the lid-headed cat, and Mr. Nobyeol, who looks like a star but is not a star.
We support the path you are currently running hard on.

_ From the author's message

"If You Run" is a song of encouragement, written by author Ji-an Kim, for those who live their daily lives with determination everywhere.
It is also the result of meticulous consideration of what season to capture, what scenery to show, and how to capture feelings of encouragement and comfort in a single painting.


In the world outside the tunnel that Mr. Togo accidentally passed through, plants welcome us in the form of all kinds of adorable animals.
The round tail of the rabbit turned around is so cute that you want to poke it with your finger.
Just imagining the flowers greeting me with their buds popping open as I pass by, the cloud bed that seems as if it will be soft no matter how much I jump, and the rice that tastes salty and savory the more I chew on it, all send a pleasant vibration through my heart.


“No, no.
“I don’t really like water… … .”

We are faced with the sight of Mr. Togo waving his hand in front of a sea that looks like something out of a fantasy, and we are all crouched down.
Sometimes, even if it means getting soaked, why not jump in with all your might? Let's cheer on Mr. Togo, who slowly steps on the accelerator and moves forward without hesitation.
