An autumn picture book filled with the senses and energy of nature.

Darin, the squirrel who falls asleep every night while reading picture books with his mother, can't sleep because of the autumn forest picnic he's going on with his friends tomorrow.
Because soon the picnic will begin after the quiet night greeting of crickets and fireflies.
The author, who has long raised and taught children in a natural city with Seorak Mountain, rivers, lakes, and the sea, hopes that through "I Wish Every Day Was Autumn," children will be able to experience nature with all five senses.
I wanted to show that autumn, a season full of vitality, prosperity, and abundance that makes horses fat, is a time of vitality and energy for children in the midst of growth.
Darin and her friends greet the morning sun from the tree.
We pick chestnuts under the chestnut tree and walk along the forest path together to cool off the sweat from our whole bodies.
Swim in the water and frolic among the leaves that hold the summer sun, and get a taste of nature.
Darin's story of an autumn forest picnic is filled with the five senses of nature, including the sound of the wind, the sound of falling chestnuts, warm sunlight, and leaves that hold the colors of summer and autumn.
As natural living beings, humans and animals develop their vitality in the natural space and time, their senses become more alive and their energy increases.
Darin and her friends grow up a lot through their autumn forest picnic.

A cute autumn story filled with solidarity and sharing.

What Darin and her friends picked up in the autumn forest were not just chestnuts.
Holding hands together on a tree, running along a forest path, and playing in the cool water, the sun we soaked up together became sparkling memories and chestnuts of friendship.
Darin reads a picture book to her friends on a rock, and the warm voice of her mother, who always reads picture books to her, overlaps with it.

The forest provides children with chestnuts, a playground, and a promise of autumn's return next year.
In it, Darin and her friends learn the true meaning of being together and sharing.

The author says in the story that children's growth comes not from textbooks but from practical experiences in the forest.

In the last scene, Darin's mother says:
“People buy chestnuts at the market.”

At this, Darin whispers with regret.
“How fun it is to pick chestnuts… It’s a shame you don’t know that.”

"I Wish Every Day Was Autumn" is a picture book that conveys the friendship, growth, and solidarity that the autumn forest offers to children.
