Publisher's Review
“Our friendship will never fade away…….”
A heart-wrenching picture book that captures the essence of friendship!
Although about 10 years have passed since the publication of Volume 1, "On a Stormy Night," it is still loved by many because of the power of the story itself and the unique personality of the main character.
This is because, in a world ruled by the law of the jungle, the protagonists are a wolf and a goat who can never become friends, and it shows that even in a world dominated by the logic of power, if you connect your hearts and minds, you can become friends, not based on appearances, conditions, or status.
Just as in our real society, there are forces in “The Story of Gabu and May” that are jealous of the seemingly impossible friendship and try to destroy it.
When their secret friendship is discovered, and they are forced to choose between being a member of their group or a secret friend who has truly shared their true feelings, the constant conflict between Gabu and May seems to starkly reflect the reality of society, leaving even readers wondering, "What if I were them? What would I do?"
And finally, Gabu and May choose to keep their friendship to themselves.
What makes "The Story of Gabu and Mei" truly heartbreaking is not only because of Gabu's sacrifice and Mei's devotion, but also because of the strength of spirit and wise choices that Gabu and Mei make in the midst of their fragility, constantly struggling and conflicting to maintain their friendship, before finally deciding to stand up for what is precious.
Even in the midst of a biting blizzard, May says, “I’m glad I found a friend I can give my life for,” and Gabu says, “I don’t care who survives or who starves, but it’s so sad that I can never talk to you again.”
In "Hello, Gabu," the story of Gabu causing an avalanche and giving up everything for Mei, and Mei's lone survivor, unfolds in an even more heartbreaking way in Volume 7.
The story of Gabu and Mei, which came to a grand conclusion with “On the Night the Full Moon Rises.”
This touching series, which transcends generations and makes readers, from children to adults, understand the true meaning of friendship, is the best work that allows everyone in today's increasingly selfish and individualistic society to revisit the meaning of 'friends' and 'friendship.'
