“My mom is the bravest battery in the world.”
The story of a mother who protects her children with her strong will.

"Battery Mom" ​​begins with the voice of a child proud of his mother.
The battery-powered mother, who uses the teacher's bag as a means of transportation to go to the daycare center every morning, takes good care of the children.
Make bubbles in the bubble gun to entertain the children and take pictures of them smiling brightly in the camera.
Check your children's health with a thermometer and make delicious food with an electric frother during lunchtime.
It's nap time, and everyone is taking a breather. Even the battery-powered mom is looking at the family photo while taking a break in the warm thermometer.
At this time, smoke begins to rise from the Christmas tree.
The fire started from an old light bulb.
The dynamic scene unfolds as the battery-powered mother, who notices a fire, quickly climbs to the fire alarm hanging on the ceiling and sounds the alarm.


The first half of the story shows the daily lives of a mother and a teacher side by side.
By comparing the everyday life we ​​see with the battery-like mothers in the hidden spaces we cannot see, it illuminates the lives of caregivers who do their best to live their lives even when no one recognizes them.
After the fire, the film follows the actions of the battery mother at a fast pace, conveying her desperate desire to protect her children.
The activities of a battery mom, who runs to her children before anyone else when they are happy or sad, bored or in danger, are no different from the daily life of an ordinary parent.
This is a story that cheers on those who are closest to children and protect them most reliably.


A warm family story that conveys safety and love.

"Battery Mom" ​​dynamically portrays the resilience of a mother who saves her children from unexpected danger.
Young readers will naturally understand evacuation procedures in case of a fire while rooting for the safety of their battery mother and her daycare friends.
Fun can be found even in small elements, such as a safety vest made of bubble wrap and a battery-powered emergency exit for moms.
After a busy day, the teacher and the battery mom return home, covered in warm snowflakes.
The ending, where the two mothers regain their energy by spending time with their families, conveys a pleasant warmth to the reader's heart, like covering them with a thick blanket.


"Battery Mom" ​​is based on the animated film of the same name, which tells the story of a brave mother who saves her children from a fire hazard with vivid motions.
Every scene in the picture book was created through a meticulous process of sketching anew to fit the genre, creating puppets and sets separately, and delicately placing three-dimensional objects within each scene and filming them.
The cover and sidebar design, which can only be seen in picture books, are also fun not to be missed.
The book includes an original animation QR code that can be enjoyed by all generations, providing a special experience of viewing the picture book and animation together.
