The second story of the adorable little kitten Mock's adventures.

'One summer day, a young kitten named Mo goes out on an errand for the first time in her life.'

On a sunny summer day, Mo, a young cat, sets out on an adventure to the island village to visit his grandfather's house with a map drawn by his mother to run an errand.
But when he finds it difficult to find his way, he stops by the house of a black bear living nearby and asks for help.
The black bear tells Mo that it will be easy to cross the river if he repairs a large candlestick and builds a boat for her.
They ride a candlestick boat and head down the river towards their grandfather's house.


However, while playing in the water, the map in the bag gets completely soaked and the route becomes unreadable.
I have no choice but to ask the animals around me if they know the house where my grandfather lives, but none of them know.


Sweat is pouring down in the hot sun...
Mo, who is exhausted to the point of exhaustion, becomes anxious that she might not be able to find her grandfather's house.
Will the young kitten Mo be able to complete her first errand without giving up?

Publisher's Review
On a hot summer day, a young kitten named Mo goes on an errand for the first time in her life.
It's about giving screws to an old man living in an island village to fix an old fan.
Will Mo be able to cross the river on the candlestick boat made by the black bear and arrive safely at Grandfather's house?
A picture book for everyone who encourages a spirit that doesn't give up easily.


“In the end, the most important thing is to not give up easily.”

A young kitten, Mo, is born and goes on its first errand.
On his adventure to cross the river to his grandfather's house, Mo encounters unexpected hardships and experiences setbacks.
However, he overcomes his difficulties with the help of the animal friends he meets along the way.
Also, from the example of my grandfather, who did not easily throw away old and broken things but instead repaired them, I gained the wisdom that if I did not give up easily, there is a way.


The second part of Mo's story depicts Mo's ups and downs as he goes on an errand for the first time in his life.
While maintaining the lovely atmosphere of the previous installment, it delivers deeper emotion and fun with unique characters and unexpected events.

Author's Note

My dad doesn't throw things away easily.
After modifying it here and there, we eventually find a new use for it.
It was the same when I made a calendar with my dad.
My father even found a perfect place for a painting that I had put away because it looked so ugly to me.
Looking at my father, I thought about his heart that doesn't give up easily, and a new adventure story was completed.
This heart has been supporting me all along.
When I feel like giving up in a difficult situation, I try to open my eyes wide and look at it like a father. I even ask for help.
The banana cake you eat with a refreshed mind after getting out of the swamp is really sweet.
