Our beautiful picture book, "Dog Poop," which brought a little dandelion to everyone's heart.

One day, writer Kwon Jeong-saeng saw dog poop under a stone wall melting and seeping into the ground after being hit by rain.
A few days later, surprisingly, a cute dandelion flower bloomed right where the dog poop had seeped and melted.
Writer Kwon Jeong-saeng was deeply moved by the fact that, in that moment, "Even something as insignificant as dog poop, something that is looked down upon by others, melts one's entire being and gives life to it!" and shed tears.
The author stayed up for several nights writing the story of Puppy Poop, and the fairy tale 'Puppy Poop' written this way was first published in 1969 when it won the first Christian Children's Literature Award selected by the monthly Christian Education magazine.

Painter Jeong Seung-gak was deeply moved by the story of 'Dog Poop' and decided to express the precious meaning contained in 'Dog Poop' in a picture book.
Author Kwon Jeong-saeng refined the text to fit the picture book, and author Jeong Seung-gak did not hesitate to become dog poop himself, saying, “You have to become dog poop to draw dog poop.”
The author repeatedly visited the stone wall where he first saw dog poop to find inspiration, and even followed the dog around for four months to observe it pooping.
After that, he spent two months making a model of the dog poop with clay and drawing a rough sketch. After looking at it for a long time, he finally felt like the dog poop was alive and moving in his mind, and only then did he pick up a brush and paint.
I even got rained on myself to draw dog poop in the rain.
In this way, the author poured his heart into portraying 'dog poop' in beautiful pictures, and the picture book 'dog poop' was born in 1996.
The picture book 『Dog Poop』, with its beautiful text and illustrations, resonates deeply and touches the hearts of everyone, from children to adults.
