book introduction
It is a picture book that makes you look into your mind and think about yourself. "Who am I?" is a question that everyone has in the process of growing up. Looking into me and acknowledging who I am is essential for a person to grow up. <Heart gland> shows the process by comparing it to animals and springs for children to understand easily.
The wolf meets his heart and suffers great confusion. They panic, run away, and fight fiercely at the unexpected appearance of their minds. You accept yourself as you are at the end of the process. Like a wolf, everyone has a different image in their mind. If you have a good side, you have an ugly side, and if you have a strong side, you have a weak side. This act of acknowledging multifacetedness makes you love and respect yourself. And it turns its self-centered gaze outward and makes it look at others.
"Heart Sam" is a story of a wolf's heart and at the same time tells the story of all of us. It will be an opportunity for children who read this book to know various aspects of their minds and to think about their different aspects.
summary
One day, when a wolf tries to drink water, a rabbit is reflected in the spring water. A surprised wolf looks back, but there are only wolves in the forest. Even if the wolf growls, the rabbit does not move and watches the wolf still. Only then did the wolf know that the rabbit was his reflection in the spring.
"What do you mean I'm a weak rabbit?"’ Wolves don't think anyone should see themselves weak. So the wolf hides itself so that other friends cannot see him. And on the night when everyone is asleep, no one tries to sneak the rabbit away. But rabbits don't disappear. Can wolves get rid of rabbits? No, is it possible to get rid of your mind?
