Book Introduction
“From today on, I’m going to walk backwards!”
So what if I'm different from others?!
A new world appears when you turn it over, the story of the upside-down rabbit!


The rabbit received a pretty pair of shoes as a birthday present from his friend.
It was when the rabbit was walking carefully with his new shoes on.
A child was running too fast and ended up splashing mud on a rabbit.
Rabbit's new shoes got dirty.
If you keep going like this, your shoes will soon get dirty and become worn-out.
So... what if we walked backwards?! The rabbit did a handstand with its large ears on the ground.
Now the rabbit is upside down! He walks on two ears, so everything looks upside down.
The world seen upside down is more interesting than you think.
But when the neighbors saw the rabbit walking backwards, they all started complaining.
Walk straight! Is there really no one who understands Kito's heart?

"Backwards Rabbit Kitty" is a picture book that tells the story of Kitty the quirky rabbit who started walking backwards because he didn't want his new shoes to get dirty.
Kito's world changes completely when he starts walking with his ears instead of his feet.
Kitoman's greetings, eating, and sleeping methods are created in various ways that were previously unknown.
Although he is sometimes criticized for being different from others, Kito moves forward in his own way and meets a rabbit friend who accepts him for who he is.

Publisher's Review
“What a peculiar rabbit.
“Why can’t you walk straight like us?”
A story about a rabbit who fights against prejudice with a different perspective from others!


The rabbit was walking carefully down the road wearing the pretty blue shoes he had received as a birthday present.
“Oh, my shoes!!” But then a kid came running from the other side and splashed mud on Rabbit’s shoes.
The rabbit was upset about his dirty new shoes.
If we continue like this, these new shoes will soon become worn-out shoes.
How do you avoid getting your shoes dirty? Just stand upside down and walk on your ears! Now, the rabbit has become "Kitto" upside down.
Kito jumped around excitedly with both ears flapping.
The world seen upside down was so new.
The sun in the sky was shining on the earth, and everything on the earth was hanging in the sky.
Kito didn't stop at walking backwards, he also started creating his own way.
I started saying simple words and phrases backwards, like “Hello!” and “Thank you!”, and I even started saying things like how to eat and sleep backwards.
But walking around with two ears wasn't easy.
I was just making a resolution to walk carefully on my own two feet again.

“Hey! Why are you walking upside down?” “Eww! It’s a monster rabbit! Run away!” “If you walk upside down, you won’t grow taller.” …

The neighboring rabbits saw Kitto upside down and started nagging him one by one.
Kito was annoyed and angry with his neighbors who did not understand him and only said things to him.
So I shouted loudly, “Everyone, leave me alone!” and ran down the street, but then… I tripped over a rock and fell.
Kito was embarrassed and ashamed of having fallen in front of his neighbors, so he got up again as if nothing had happened, even though his ears hurt.
Then I sat down on a rock where no one was and cried in frustration.
At that time, Toto the rabbit approached Kito.
Toto put some medicine on Kito's injured ear and told him that he also wore his shoes on his head because he didn't want them to get dirty like Kito.
Toto was the first friend who understood Kito's feelings and actions without Kito saying anything.
Kito doesn't cry anymore.
Instead, he started to walk his own path again with his friend Toto.


The story of Kitto the Rabbit, who confronts the world's prejudices in his own unique way, is about a person who has various perspectives on the world and follows his own path without being intimidated by others.
Now, check out the meeting between the cute Kitto, who clearly shows what is unique about him, and his lovable friend Toto, who accepts Kitto just as he is, in "Kitto the Reverse Rabbit"!

Rabbit Kitto, who wants to walk the world 'in his own way'
A lovely encounter with Toto, a friend with affectionate empathy!


Rabbit Kitty doesn't like getting his shoes dirty, so he decides to walk upside down.
And that's not all? Rabbit Kitty shows off his unique personality in a variety of ways, starting with walking backwards on his head, saying simple greetings and words backwards, eating, sleeping, and even singing backwards.
However, because of his different behavior from others, he sometimes receives harsh glares from the neighboring rabbits.
“What a peculiar rabbit.
“Why can’t you walk straight like us?”

At this time, Toto, a friend who appears in front of the frustrated rabbit Kitto, gives Kitto comfort and encouragement with warm empathy.
Toto, who hates his new shoes getting dirty like a rabbit, puts his shoes on his head and walks.


Toto is a wonderful friend who understands even the details that Kito cannot express in words.
Instead of finding out why Kito walks upside down, taking care of Kito's painful wounds, and asking if his ears hurt from walking upside down, try to understand and take care of Kito itself rather than criticizing or looking at his strange behavior.
Rabbit Kitto and Toto, who became friends like that, walk together confidently, each in their own way.
The sight of Kito, who had seemed so odd, walking confidently through the world gives a little inspiration to the neighboring rabbits.
The neighbors who used to criticize Rabbit Kitty soon realized how much fun it was to walk on all fours, roll around, and do crab-legged walking, each in their own unique way.


Walk through the world with your own pace, like the confident footsteps of Toto, the rabbit, who moves forward 'in his own way' without caring about other people's opinions and prejudices!

Cute and lovely pictures full of quirky charm~!
A world that is even more perfect because it is upside down, created through the affectionate gaze of author Boram!


The rabbit, wearing the pretty blue shoes he received as a birthday present, walks carefully down the street, and cries when the shoes get dirty, is just like the way we look when we put on new shoes.
But the rabbit's subsequent actions exceed everyone's expectations.
The sight of the upside-down rabbit Kitto, standing on its head and jumping around with its big ears, is surprising, magical, and yet confident.

In "Upside Down Rabbit Kitty," author Boram uses her warm perspective on the world, cute drawings, and unique imagination to tell the story of a world that is even more perfect because it is "upside down."
This picture book depicts the meeting of the lovely rabbit friends who appeared in the previous works, "Everyone's a Chambang" and "Please Give Me the Perfect Fried Egg." It includes Kitto, a quirky but proud rabbit who cannot be hated; Toto, who empathizes with Kitto's actions unlike others; a tiny ant who hides throughout the picture scenes to observe Kitto; and even the neighboring rabbits who roll like a ball, jump, and walk sideways following Kitto in their own way! It provides the pleasure of looking at these cute and lovable characters.
It also includes the Kito method of saying words and phrases backwards, such as “nyeongan” (hello), “girabae” (sunflower), “baksu” (watermelon), and “tomato” (tomato), which helps children enjoy playing with words in a fun way.

Now, meet the upside-down, even more perfect 《Upside-down Rabbit Kitty》.
You will meet charming rabbit Kitto and his friends who show off their uniqueness as much as their gait while walking down the street!
