Is it okay to be born with a hole in your throat and dream of a vase?
A delightful and lively insight into my own uniqueness!

One peaceful afternoon, the plumber calls his bathroom friends over to say something.
Now he proudly declares to his friends that he wants to be a vase.
My friends are all shocked and say it's impossible.
The plumber, not swayed by other people's words, confidently steps out of the bathroom to achieve his dream.
And I find my own way to become a vase.
The dignified voice of the piercer gives new resonance to his friends.
The story of objects unfolding their dreams, one by one, hidden in a corner of their hearts, unfolds in a delightful way.

“I Want to Be a Vase” is a book that asks new questions about one’s own identity.
The main character of this book, Tunnel, is positive about the fact that he was born as a tunnel and the life he lives as a tunnel, but now he makes a new declaration of himself, saying that he wants to try living as a vase.
While it is important to explore your innate temperament and appearance and affirm your true self, it is also important to break the mold and dream of your potential.
This book shows that identity is not only defined by what you have achieved, but also by what you will achieve.
They say that you can dream, you just have to find a way, and you can be satisfied even if you don't live exactly the way you were born.
I hope that through this book, readers will think anew about their true selves and live authentically with open possibilities.


Breaking the mold X Original image X Excellent humor
A unique world created by new imagination

《I Want to Be a Vase》 is a picture book full of creative imagination, written by Julio Torres, a comedian who is one of the most notable in the English-speaking world for his unique sense of humor, a former SNL writer, and illustrated by Julian Glander, a 3D animator who creates sensational images with his unconventional ideas. Translator Hwang Seok-hee, who has provided surprising enjoyment with his excellent expressions that are so excellent that he has been called the “audible subtitles” in various films including 《Spider-Man》 and 《Bohemian Rhapsody》, has translated it into Korean.
This book is a story composed of dialogues between objects that appear.
The somewhat absurd story of a plumber turning into a vase is naturally told with humor and witty dialogue.
What will the next thing say, what will it want to be, and how will it make readers immerse themselves in the story, using their imaginations to have fun.

3D animation, a unique image technique, creates a vivid feeling as if you are viewing a three-dimensional image in a two-dimensional book.
The eye-catching fluorescent colors and the cheerful movements of the graphically smooth objects, combined with cheerful dialogue, provide the pleasure of watching a flash animation.

Experience the happiness of discovering infinite possibilities in a unique world created with new imagination.
Just as objects without eyes, nose, or mouths possess a rich array of expressions, I hope that each of you can enrich your own life.
