Pig Book
Lee's mom

detail

My mom is really cool.
He's a great cook, an amazing handyman, and a great painter.
Also, my mother is the strongest woman in the world.
My mom is like a magical gardener.
Because you can make anything grow.
Like a good fairy, you can make me happy when I'm sad.
You can sing like an angel and roar like a lion.
My mother is as beautiful as a butterfly, as comfortable as an armchair, as soft as a kitten, and as strong as a rhinoceros.
My mom is so, so wonderful! She could have been a dancer or an astronaut.
Maybe I could have become a movie star or a CEO.
But then she became 'our mom'.
I love my mom.
And my mom loves me too. (Forever and ever...)

Anthony Browne, the best picture book author,
It will be remembered as his most beautiful work!

Anthony Browne, a trustworthy author just by his name, is one of the most beloved picture book authors in Korea.
He, who created a great response and deeply moved viewers in 2004, has returned this year with another moving work that will shake the hearts of viewers.

The new work we are introducing this time is literally a story about 'mother'.
This is a picture book that expresses love and gratitude toward one's mother through the voice of a child.
Anthony Browne, who ponders the meaning and importance of family in each of his subsequent works, brings about dramatic reconciliation and restoration of love.
It seems clear that 'family' is a topic of conversation for him.
He, who says that 'the love for people is the purpose of his work', seems to be looking for the basis of love for people in his family.
This time, the main character is ‘Mom’.
My mother, who always gives me a warm and cozy feeling when I think about her.

Anthony Browne, who has moved away from his previous somewhat heavy and critical tendencies, is now giving a deeper resonance with a warmer and more comfortable perspective.
2005 will be remembered as one of his most beautiful works, with simple yet truthful writing and exceptionally bright and warm illustrations.


Mom! The name of absolute love that needs no further explanation.

There is a Jewish proverb that says:
“God couldn’t be everywhere, so he created mothers.” And “Mom!” are the first words every child in the world learns.
To children, mothers are literally absolute beings.
It is the source of life, the most precious refuge that provides salvation for life, and a place where we learn about the world and gain the strength to live in it.
The faith we gain from our mothers in childhood leads to trust in the world and confidence in life.
Because it is such an absolute relationship, the love between mother and child is an eternal theme and the most universal subject matter in picture books.
That's why there are so many books that talk about the love between mother and child.
Through such books, mothers constantly tell their children and confirm their beliefs.
“Mom loves you so much.
“I love you forever.” Through such a mother’s boundless love, the child gains a sense of security and learns the most basic and precious beginning of love.
This is a picture book with the theme of love between a mother and a child.
But there is something a little different.
This book is a love song from a child to his mother.


A song of love from sons and daughters, the best book for all mothers in the world!

In the eyes of a child who is still weak and clumsy at everything, his mother cannot help but be an amazing being.
The food my mom makes is always the best, and when I see my plants growing, it makes me feel like my mom is a magical gardener.
How artistic is it when my mom applies makeup! She's strong enough to lift a shopping basket as big as mine.
Pretty, soft and fluffy.
My mom is so, so, so cool.

But Anthony Brown speaks through the voice of a child.
There is another reason why mom is really cool… … .
Come to think of it, my mother may have been a girl who dreamed of becoming a movie star when she was young.
Maybe I would have become an astronaut or the CEO of a big company.
That's why my mom is really, really cool.
That my mother is now no one else but ‘our mother.’
To a child, the name 'Mom' is the most wonderful, amazing, thankful, and valuable title.
Anthony Browne, in the voice of a child, pays tribute to and wonders at the greatest and most valuable name in the world: Mother.


A child's voice conveys his sincere love and gratitude towards his mother.
Through this work, mother and child will be able to confirm once again that they are so precious to each other.
Through these happy times, children can share their hearts warmly with each other, and of course, they can gain deep empathy, and mothers can gain immense comfort and warm emotions.


The joy of looking at Anthony Browne's warmest and most beautiful paintings

The illustrations, which show each scene of the warm and cozy text that flows as if quietly confessing, are also extremely warm and soft.
The point of this book is, above all, the bright floral patterns that appear as Mom's trademark.
It seems to be a pattern that expresses what kind of feeling a child has when he thinks of his wonderful and wonderful 'mother'.
The bright, colorful and vibrant floral patterns are so pretty, warm and beautiful.
It is also fun to watch the various transformations of the mother, who appears in each scene according to the child's gaze looking at her.
Anthony Browne's exceptional talent of quirky and cheerful humor is naturally incorporated into the illustrations, adding to the fun of viewing them, such as the mother appearing as a butterfly, a cat, a lion, a rhinoceros, a movie star, an astronaut, a mother with magic hands, and sometimes a mother who becomes Superman.
In this work, his humor and wit are fully displayed, but the bright, warm, and soft feeling provides a different kind of joy and emotion that is not easily found in other works.
It is a beautiful work that makes you want to close the last page and hold it close to your chest.
