A warm winter greeting from the writer Annyeongdal, whom everyone has been waiting for.

"Snow Child" is a new picture book by author Annyeongdal, who has been drawing universal emotions in special spaces and has received enthusiastic responses and expectations from critics as well as children and adult readers.
The author, who has created fantasy worlds of watermelons, skyrockets, alien planets, and kindergartens, presents a touching story of friendship set in the season of gently falling snow.
This work, which stands out for its imagination that naturally blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy, begins one winter day when a child finds a snowball left alone in a field.

The child looks at the snowball that was left in the shape of a snowman and gives it arms and legs, eyes, a mouth, and ears.
The snowball receives affectionate attention and greetings from the child and responds with cheers.
When the child calls the snowball 'Snow Child', the snowball is reborn as 'Snow Child', a new character by the author of Annyeongdal.
The author uses a comic-style composition to create detailed character portrayals and bold compositions to depict landscapes that open up expansive views, creating a dense and rich story of friendship between two children in the middle of winter.

A lyrical winter landscape that I want to see in lonely moments

When you open 『Snow Child』, a winter landscape with heavy snow fills the screen.
The author warmly depicted a season from the time the snow on the branches melts and falls to the time when buds sprout from the frozen ground, using delicate strokes of pencil and colored pencil.
The story is beautifully depicted, enough to make you hold your breath, and the two children enjoy the midwinter by making snow bread and riding a sled with their school bags, making you laugh the whole time.


The arrangement of small props and animals that appear in the work is also interesting.
The red fur gloves shared by the child and the snow child appear throughout the work and play an important role in connecting the two children.
Gentle forest animals such as rabbits, birds, and deer capture the attention of not only the two children but also the readers, serving as guides to the imaginary world that author Annyeongdal creates.
The lyrical winter scenery presented in "Snow Child" will give children anticipation and excitement for the coming season, and adults will also present warm memories that they long for during the cold season.

A dazzling friendship that nurtures a child's heart

"Snow Child" shows the friendship between children, which is awkward but conveys a heartfelt feeling.
The two children who met for the first time express their desire to become close by becoming one with each other.
The child takes off his fur gloves and plays with the cold snow with his bare hands, and without the child knowing, his frozen hands are thawed.
Snow Kids try to copy whatever other kids do, saying, “Me too! Me too!”
Even when these two children realize how different they are, they find ways to become closer in their own way.
As the friendship deepens, the child's heart grows and the smile of the child who did not know warmth becomes warmer.
This wonderful story, which began with the desire to keep a snowball from being left alone in the field, lingers in the mind and cherishes all the moments of friendship in the world.

A picture book that warmly depicts the most cherished memories and shining moments of childhood.

There are memories that remain in everyone's memory across generations.
It's a memory of rolling snowballs over and over again on a snowy day to make a snowman.
Author Annyeongdal has created a story that both children and adults can relate to by adding lovely imagination to a time in childhood when building a snowman was a given.
Who could not love the author's thoughtful suggestion to children who are sad to part with the snowman melting in the sunlight, to play hide-and-seek with the snowman?
The ending of "Snow Child," which concludes with Snow Child's dazzling smile, asks readers to look back on their childhood and sends encouragement for them to build wonderful friendships.
