A rich and three-dimensional story that follows the structure of the four seasons.
This book is a delight to the eyes and heart with lines, surfaces, and colors that drive the story forward with all their might, rather than words.
As the main color blue adds to the scene with water play and pouring rain, the children, the main characters, happily enjoy summer within it.
It is divided into three movements following the flow of "Summer" from Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons," and each movement uses different painting techniques, making it colorful and three-dimensional.
It is also interesting to use soft, smooth paper to indicate the beginning and end of the movement.
This part uses smooth, well-colored paper to create a visual transition.
Additionally, at the beginning of each chapter, a short text appears to briefly refresh the overall flow of the story.
It is a reinterpretation of the sonnet part that Vivaldi wrote into the song.
This short and savory piece, written in the format of a child's diary, captures the hearts of children as they welcome and enjoy summer.

The Beginning of Summer - Movement 1: Collage and Crayon
Alright, let's start! Attack!
It begins with a picture of a child holding a water balloon, signaling the start of a water fight.
Pink water balloon on yellow background.
To express the diverse and intense colors and dynamic movements of children's bodies, they were drawn with crayons on colored paper collage.
The child's movements were expressed by drawing lines again on the irregular shapes made by cutting colored paper crookedly.
On top of that, the feeling of water flowing, water bursting, and water splashing was added.
Water in various shapes was expressed by spraying, scratching, and drawing lines with a brush.

Echoes of Summer - 2nd Movement: Lines and Dots
The paintings are mostly abstract with relatively short and slow breaths.
The music score appears and becomes the background for the children's water play, and the blue color catches the light and becomes a rainbow as they move along the line like a rhythm.
The image of water play and the expression of the musical score intersect.
The lines of the musical score, the dots of the water droplets, and the dots of the notes come together in a lively way.

Summer Has Come - Movement 3: Mixed Watercolor and Acrylic Paints
The landscape begins with a light watercolor showing pencil lines, and then moves on to a thick cloudscape depicted by mixing in acrylic paints.
Pictures of various styles appear, and children and an orchestra take turns appearing, adding to the excitement of summer.
You can enjoy both the clear and permeating feeling of watercolors and the heavy, thick touch of acrylics.
