A sweet spring day scene, embroidered one by one with fingertips
Animal friends who have just woken up from hibernation are busy welcoming spring.
They raise their hunched bodies, stretch, wash their faces in the clear stream, and gather one by one with the food they have saved all winter.
The animal friends' journey is accompanied by the sweet scenery of a spring day.
While walking through the flowers in full bloom, I discovered a large stone slab where I poured corn kernels to make popcorn and ate it. I also made some very special cherry blossom popcorn with seeds gifted by birds.
For these people, a day filled with the spirit of spring is remembered as a warmer spring day than ever, with a spoonful of warm sunlight and a spoonful of sweet scenery.
The author created cherry blossoms by directly dyeing fine Korean paper and reproduced them in the book.
Thanks to this, the flowers feel vivid, like popcorn popping.
Here, we have filled the space with spring flowers that can be seen around us, such as plum blossoms, magnolias, rape blossoms, lilacs, cornelian cherry, forsythia, chrysanthemums, and wisteria, so that you can feel the spring atmosphere.
Let's feel the vitality and excitement of a spring day when new shoots sprout and flowers bloom profusely.
As we watch, spring will soon be upon us.


A very special feast to be enjoyed once with the mouth and again with the heart.
Eating food is more than just filling a hungry stomach; it also comforts the mind and soul.
Just like how, on a tiring day, eating food made with someone's loving hands can give you the energy to overcome a difficult day, and on a good day, sharing a meal with loved ones can bring you even greater joy.
Hungry animal friends also share what they have with each other to welcome a more bountiful spring.
And they willingly share their share with the little birds passing by.
A small act of kindness from our animal friends can be a great help to a hungry little being.
As if in return, the little birds bring cherry blossom seeds to their friends, and they are born as fragrant cherry blossom popcorn, making the spring feast even more abundant.
The spring of the forest friends shines even brighter with the spring gifts everyone made together.


Harmony of a spring day that stimulates the senses
The scenery of a spring day filled with colorful flowers, the savory smell of popcorn ripening, the sound of popcorn popping, the crunchy texture of popcorn, and the sweet taste of cherry blossom popcorn as you fill your mouth with it.
Following the animal friends as they make cherry blossom popcorn will be a sensory experience.
At the same time, the spring scenery of cherry blossom popcorns bursting and filling the forest makes me feel as if I am eating popcorn along with them.
This book is not just about seeing with the eyes, but all of the senses come together in harmony to provide children with a richer reading experience.
