From the harsh cry of “I hate it all!” to finding laughter again,
A story of grape growth filled with joy and empathy!

There's a grape that cries out that it doesn't like anything in the world.
In fact, these grapes were originally the sweetest and most affectionate fruit of all.
However, I was deeply hurt when no one showed up to the birthday party I had prepared with all my heart.
From that day on, Grape closed his heart tightly and began to hate everything.
After that, Grape got angry over trivial things and was busy blaming his friends.
He said that it was annoying when a banana accidentally bumped into something, and that it was annoying when an orange didn't contact him.
Lime even grumbled and complained that she hated him if he didn't return the scarf.
As the little grievances piled up, the grapes became more and more sour, and the relationship with my friends grew distant.
The smile disappeared and only the gruffness remained.
But in Grape's heart, there was still a longing to return to his old sweet and kind self.
Can Grumpy Grapes ever be as sweet as they once were? "Grumpy Grapes" is a picture book that delightfully depicts the journey of a grumpy grape, wounded and misunderstood, finding its smile again.
It shows the emotional changes that everyone can experience at least once, and draws empathy from children.

Look into each other's hearts,
A warm picture book that teaches you how to understand!

Misunderstandings and conflicts in friendships are not unfamiliar to children.
"Grumpy Grapes" shows how a heart that has been firmly closed due to a small misunderstanding can be reopened, and it warmly teaches children how to understand others' feelings at their level.
When no one came to the birthday party he had prepared with great care, Grape was deeply hurt and distanced himself from his friends.
He would get angry at even the smallest things, and as his resentment built up, he became more and more grumpy.
Then one day, Grape got into an argument with his friend Lemon.
But no matter how much I explained, Lemon wouldn't listen and just left.
Grape, who decided to give it time rather than force it, went to the park alone to calm down and returned home.
And then I happened to see the invitation again and realized that I had written the wrong birthday date.
Grape realizes that everything was a misunderstanding that started from a small mistake, and accepts that anyone can make mistakes.
After that, even if something upsetting happens, I don't turn away, but rather try to solve the problem by sharing my feelings honestly through conversation.
"The Grumpy Grapes" is a picture book that helps children naturally learn to look into each other's hearts and understand them.
It even allows us to feel the warm joy that reconciliation and forgiveness bring.
