The current state of plastic is as shocking as its bold and beautiful paintings.

What excuse can there be for the climate crisis and environmental pollution we adults have already created in this world? In our quest for speed, ease, lightness, and convenience, we are harming the environment little by little every day.
If something breaks, throw it away, if you get sick of it, throw it away, and fill your cart with new things, things on sale… … .
The plastic pieces that the main character, Polly, easily lets go of become another main character in the story and roam the world as small, invisible figures.
The picture, which appears beautiful, is dotted with colorful grains.
Like the microplastics that are hidden inside us, even though we pass them by without noticing them in our daily lives.

Starting out as a 'plastic model' made by disassembling and assembling parts, and ending as a plastic toy, 『Fine Fine Taste Plastic Soup』 delivers a weighty message to readers within its artistic pictures.
The scene where grains hidden throughout the dense painting, which mixes various textures with intense colors and composition and cool brushwork, enter our bodies sounds a strong alarm.
You shouldn't act the same way you have been doing up until now.
They say that the plastic waste we throw away eventually comes back to us like a boomerang.

Look at the last scene of the book and discuss it with your children, family, and friends.
In the book's appendix, the information page, you can read information on microplastics, completed with accurate guidance from environmental scientist and Konkuk University professor Ahn Yoon-joo.
Through little truths about plastic that we've been missing, new environmental news, and more, you'll learn and gain new insights into how to use plastic 'a little better' and how to use and throw away 'a little less' plastic.
A life without plastic is impossible.
A small step in everyday life is enough, not a drastic change or a forced challenge.
Children who read books will also be able to develop habits by imagining and thinking on their own.


Author's Note
A book that apologizes for our mistakes

This book is also a book in which adults apologize to children for their mistakes.
The idea, initially conceived as a picture book for adults, has been expanded into a children's picture book.
I hope that all generations will read together, look a little further ahead, think wisely, and live together.
I hope that the Earth, which is suffering from all kinds of garbage, and all of us who will continue to live on this Earth and all of the beings who will live on it in the future can all live with healthy bodies and minds.
