"Ah! If you give me a piece of rice cake, I won't eat it!" ---Page 9

"Why is your voice like that? My mother's voice is beautiful."

≪The Sun and the Moon≫ uses spoken language to take advantage of the characteristics of traditional fairy tales that are passed down from mouth to mouth.
Colloquial speech, also known as spoken language, makes old stories feel familiar.
We also included onomatopoeia, mimetic words, and essential vocabulary that are essential for young children, such as scary, rough, and grouchy.
In scenes where a tiger and a brother and sister face off against each other across a door or under a persimmon tree, the use of parallelism, which repeats similar dialogue in pairs, helps focus the story.
It is even more informative to learn about the mythical story of why corn stalks turn red and how the sun and moon came into being in the sky.
