A ladybug got caught in a spider web!
The tense relationship between spider, ladybug, and bear

“Bear, can you save me from this spider web?”
“If I save you, the spider will starve?”

One morning, a ladybug got caught in a spider's web.
A ladybug that must somehow escape the spider's web before the spider arrives.
Just then, a large bear passes by.
Will a bear become a ladybug's savior? "I'll Give You a Flower" is a story about a ladybug caught in a spider's web and a bear contemplating whether or not to rescue it.
The relationships between the characters are tense, from the spider that needs to eat, the ladybug that needs to survive, and the bear that doesn't want to get involved in their work.
Depending on whose perspective you read it from, it conveys a completely different message.
This is a great discussion picture book for families or schools to read together and share their opinions.


A comedy that lightheartedly depicts the contradictions of humanity.
A creative fable that combines humor and reflection.

"I'll Give You Flowers" divides the day's events into morning, lunch, and dinner.
The dialogues and monologues of characters that take place in a limited space give the unique impression of watching a play in three acts.
The situations that change little by little as they repeat are exciting, and the conversations between the unique characters are humorous.
Ladybugs try many different ways to survive.
Flatter the bear (morning), lie to him (lunch), but both fail.
Through the image of the ladybug, which finally manages to survive by using its wits in the evening, we can think about what strategies we can use in times of crisis in life, and what the right strategy is.
The bear refuses to save the ladybug, saying that he cannot go against the 'laws of nature', but in fact he wants to help the spider because the spider takes care of the 'annoying mosquitoes'.
He pretends to be a bystander, but he is a two-faced being who judges which is more beneficial to him between a ladybug and a spider.
"I'll Give You Flowers" is a creative fable that reveals various human attributes through a ladybug and a bear, and a comedy that lightheartedly depicts human contradictions.


Small acts of kindness can make a big difference

After much thought, the bear finally saves the ladybug.
Author Kang Kyung-soo began this story with the idea that even the smallest action, like cutting a spider's web with your fingertips, can bring about a huge change in the world.
Thanks to the surviving ladybugs, the fields are filled with flowers the following spring.
The ending, where the bear feels a sense of wonder in a field full of flowers, contains what the author most wanted to say.
It is the belief that humans, although they sometimes flatter, lie, and are hypocritical, are nevertheless creatures who help others in need, try to repay goodwill, and keep promises.


A different side of storyteller Kang Kyung-soo

From "A Story That Sounds Like a Lie," which realistically depicts the suffering of children, to the spy series "Code Name," which transcends time and space, author Kang Kyung-soo freely crosses the boundaries between picture books, comics, and fairy tales to create his own unique stories.
"I'll Give You Flowers" skillfully reveals another side of storyteller Kang Kyung-soo.
Through a sophisticated weave of repetition, layering, and reversal, the author creates a three-dimensional story that changes depending on the viewing point.
It fully reveals the author's intention to have the story he created be read in various ways by each reader.
The watercolor painting style, which the artist has never shown before, is warm and bright.
Yet, the film creates a cinematic look with its strong black and white contrast in the background, surreal scene insertions, and dramatic zooms and trimming.
"I'll Give You Flowers" will provide a new way to enjoy reading picture books.
