A fable picture book that satirizes the power of words with humorous illustrations!
The second collage fairy tale by Bamko, who received attention for the artistry of "Love is 123"

In our culture, where there are an unusually large number of proverbs about 'words', rumors spread and spread very widely.
Words have such great power that they can spread positive effects widely, but on the other hand, they can also distort the truth and cause unjust harm.
This book tells the most ordinary and obvious lessons about language through the mouths of animals.
The 'facts' or 'truths' represented by 'new neighbors' begin to be distorted when the first discoverer edits them to reflect what he or she sees and spreads them to others.
The truth, which has changed so much through several editing processes, finally appeals to its true self in an angry voice.
This is where the new neighbors reveal themselves.


Through this scene, the author warns of the danger of 'words' being manipulated according to the intention of the messenger.
It clearly highlights the importance of not allowing misunderstandings and hurtful remarks to spread, whether they are from a complete stranger or from a close family member or friend.


In addition, the author focused on vividly depicting the animals' speech on the page in this collage-style painting, which is the second of his previous works.
The fear of a neighbor who turns out to be a 'monster' is expressed in bold, blocky typeface, and the animals' conversations are conveyed in whispers and rapid-fire colors and textures, adding a sense of realism and excitement.


This book humorously depicts the 'properties of words' that children should think about at least once, and a small twist awaits at the end.
The fact is that even a new neighbor can become one of the messengers who edits 'words'.
