while getting covered in yellow, black, and red, to doctors who treat injuries, to repairmen who fix broken things in an instant, to meticulous and neat cleaners, cotton swabs may not be special, but they play a variety of roles.\u003cbr\u003e Cotton swabs, which have many uses and are ambiguous and inconspicuous, carry out their assigned tasks every day.\u003cbr\u003e Just as your mind begins to relax due to familiarity, an incident occurs. \u003cbr\u003eWhile the cotton swabs were pouring down, one of my friends disappeared.\u003cbr\u003e After a while, your friend appears looking unrecognizable.\u003cbr\u003e You want to break away from the ordinary life of cotton swabs and live a special life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In her previous work, “To the Left Hand,” author Han Ji-won used the relatable “hand” as the main character to tell the story of the relationship between two different people.\u003cbr\u003e In \"Because It's a Cotton Swab,\" we turn our attention to our relationship with ourselves through the \"cotton swab,\" which we use so familiarly in our daily lives.\u003cbr\u003e He freely confides his concerns about where he stands between the ordinary and the extraordinary.\u003cbr\u003e In the small but clear voice of a cotton swab.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can

swab.”\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Cotton Swab, who saw his friend's transformation, is lost in thought. \u003cbr\u003eHowever, it does not sink or sag heavily.\u003cbr\u003e Rather, he solves his worries in a simple way that makes them seem light.\u003cbr\u003e As I gradually encountered the things that seemed special to my eyes, like ‘free artist’ and ‘alien from far away’, and the moments when I tried to become that person.\u003cbr\u003e How will a cotton swab, which seems unremarkable to anyone, view itself?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Accepting the words \"I'm not special\" and accepting ourselves as we are is never easy.\u003cbr\u003e But only after that do you begin to see something.\u003cbr\u003e You will see something that is omitted before the word 'special', the reason 'why it is special'.\u003cbr\u003e And then you find out.\u003cbr\u003e Just as having a talent that stands out in a certain field can be a reason, the fact that I am me can also be a reason.\u003cbr\u003e Even the countless possibilities it holds “because it’s a cotton swab.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOn a background that looks exactly like a real painting\u003cbr\u003e The arrival of real cotton swabs that look just like the pictures!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Because It's a Cotton Swab\" was completed through a unique method of placing a real-life photograph of a cotton swab on a background carefully drawn with watercolors and pencils.\u003cbr\u003e The honest cotton swab character is well expressed in the photographed images, which increases the immersion in the story.\u003cbr\u003e Additionally, the writing, which is filled with the unique humor of author Han Ji-won, sometimes harmonizes with the illustrations to resonate, and sometimes strikes in out of sync with the illustrations, making you burst out in laughter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Although it is not noticeable in real life, the cotton swab, which stands out as the main character in this book, has another meaning.\u003cbr\u003e The tone of the cotton swab as it softly tells its story also feels like it is talking to a close friend.\u003cbr\u003e That's why it feels like someone is asking, \"How are you?\" \u003cbr\u003eThis is a great picture book to read when you need the strength to calmly discuss your worries.
