I want a family photo too!
An owl photographer and his bear assistant visit a forest village and hang a sign on the trunk of a beautiful olive tree saying, "Forest Photo Studio Specializing in Family Photos," to welcome guests.
The first guests are a family of lions.
A mother lion, father lion, and cub lion took a picture in a cool pose.
Our next guests are a family of gorillas.
Dad gorilla and baby gorilla took a picture in a funny pose.
Our next guests are a snake family.
A husband and wife snake took a picture hugging each other tightly.
The photoshoot, which started early in the morning, continued until the sun was setting, and the animal families who had been waiting in a long line all took pictures and left.
“I want a family photo too!” said the bear assistant and the owl photographer as they were finishing up their shoot, when the little panda, who had been watching them take pictures, came over and said, trembling.
Just as the bear assistant and the owl photographer were about to press the shutter to take another photo of the little panda, the animal families that they thought had gone away with a “Wait a minute!” started to gather one by one.
What on earth are the animal families trying to do? Readers who reach the final scene of this book will find their hearts warmed.

A picture book that explores various types of families.
'There are three bears in one house.
Papa Bear, Mama Bear, Baby Bear…' Just like the lyrics of the national children's song, Three Bears, when we think of family, we usually think of a blood family consisting of a mother, father, and children.
However, the form of the family has constantly changed over time, and it has become easy to find many different types of families.
In recent years, the meaning of family has expanded beyond blood relations to a broader meaning.
There are nuclear families like the lion family in this book, consisting of a mother, father, and baby; single-parent families like the gorilla family, consisting of only a father and baby; bustling extended families like the meerkat family; families that transcend species and are united by love like the crocodile and alligator bird; and families that live with just a couple without children like the snake family.
But all families have similarities.
It means that when things are good, we clap our hands together and rejoice, when things are sad, we hold hands and cry together, and when things are difficult, we join forces.
Although each one has a different appearance and process of creation, the warm and precious meaning that the fence called family gives is the same.
The Forest Photo Studio warmly portrays diverse animal families, fostering an open mind that allows readers to respect and care for other families.

Family isn't about who you are from.
It's about who you love.
-Trey Parker (Animation Director)

How Different People of Ours Become Family
"Photo Studio in the Forest" encourages us to rethink the conventional categories of family through the subject of "family photography," which records the relationships between family members and gives them new meaning.
This film introduces a new concept of family, where animals from a forest village centered around a little panda form a community based on love, even though they are not related by blood, and provides an opportunity to think about how we, who are different from each other, can become a family.
Artist Lee Si-won, who previously worked as a motion graphics designer at a broadcasting station, drew pictures using sophisticated computer graphics, making the most of his strengths.
The skill with which each blade of grass and every strand of hair is depicted with such meticulous detail is admirable, and the animals' playful expressions and movements will make you smile.
It's also fun to try to achieve photographic effects using ideas like the camera's LCD screen or negative film.
The artist put a lot of effort into expressing color in particular, making the little panda's emotions felt as if they were in the sky that emits different colors according to the passage of time. The scene where the little panda is preparing to take a picture is colored in monotone as if it were an old photograph, expressing the impatience that makes a minute feel like an hour.
The final scene, where a family photo is taken with the help of forest animals, is depicted in warm and bright colors, conveying the happiest moment created by a small expression of love.
