book introduction

This is a creative picture book by Noh Young-kyung, the illustrator of the year selected at the 2012 Bologna Book Fair. Writer Noh Young-kyung, who is drawing attention for her novel stories and unique expression techniques, tells the story of a cheerful and brave hedgehog this time. This book, which is more familiar with the emotions of children's readers than the previous work, is a lively picture book that metaphorizes the essence of growth through interesting settings, solid narrative structures, and delicate and friendly paintings.

As usual, the main character, who is cleaning the bee, finds a book banned among the tightly inserted books. It's a book that's not enough to be wrapped in thread and even has a lock. The protagonist, who is curious, unravels the thread and is sucked into the story. The main character, who finally covers the bookshelf, shouts "Yes, this is it!" while shedding a drop of emotional saliva.

That day, the main character starts a project to make pointed spines. Starting as soon as you open your eyes, until you close your eyes, training to train your spines does not stop. The main character, who is finally able to stand his thorns freely, but his future cannot be flat in a city that prohibits everything pointed. What choice will the main character finally find the most self-serving thing?

Children need time to get to know themselves, find themselves, and encourage them.
Give the kids a chance to be their own fans.

Picture book writer who is drawing the most attention right now, the new picture book by Noh Young-kyung.

Noh Kwang-kyung is currently a writer who is making the most notable move in the picture book neighborhood. He was selected as the Illustrator of the Year at the 2012 Bologna Book Fair for his previous work "Book Cleaner Soso," and won the 2013 Bratislava International Original Painting Exhibition (BIB) Golden Apple Award for "The Elephant and 100 Drops," winning the world's most prestigious picture book awards. 『The Elephant Man and 100 Drops』 has been exported to China, France, and Spain, reaching more diverse readers.
The new work of writer Noh Young-kyung, who is drawing attention for her novel story and unique expression techniques, is the story of a cheerful and brave hedgehog. Hedgehog X, which is more familiar with the emotions of children's readers than the previous work, is a lively picture book that metaphorizes the essence of growth through interesting settings, solid narrative structures, and delicate and friendly paintings.

The city's chan song that goes off quietly on the speakers on every street,
The sound of trucks delivering 'soap gently' from door to door.
It's the morning of my city 'All'.

When you open the bookshelf and face the cotton paper first, a round sillfish lying heterogeneously on the vast earth appears. It is the perfect city 'Ol' that hedgehogs have worked hard to achieve for a long time, tightly wrapped in pink thread. In their own city, completely cut off from external hazards, citizens live with an emphasis on culture and order. Every sharp thing is strictly forbidden because sharp thorns are no longer needed. Citizens gently tidy their thorns every morning in accordance with the 'Cultural Hedgehog Rules'.
However, the main character doesn't mind some of the spines standing up even after trimming the spines. Even if you fail the thorn test on your way to school and receive another education on "open thorns," or if you are punished with cleaning the library for surprising your friends during the break, you shout, "Yo-ho! As expected, I'm cool," and walk excitedly between the bookshelves. No matter how strong the fence of control is, the main character is not intimidated. Because there are so many things I like, exciting things, and things I want to do.

Oh my gosh, that's cool. It's going to be sharp!

What choice will the main character finally find the most self-serving thing?

X(x) as an unknown with numerous possibilities

With an ingeniously set world of imagination, a delightfully unfolding narrative and humorous devices placed everywhere, the reader runs nonstop to the end of the story with the main character, the hedgehog. The scene where we finally face each other after a cool run is an overwhelming emotion itself. Children's literature critic Kim Ji-eun called Hedgehog X "a picture book that supports children to meet their future selves without fear." This is because it is not easy to clearly show the essence of lonely but beautiful growth, the trials that a child must go through in order to grow into himself and the overwhelming moments that follow.
The list of taboos surrounding children is getting longer every day. Adults try to raise their children in a cramped world by adding 'what not to do'. However, no matter how soft the wool wrapped around the children, the child can never grow up to be an independent person in a closed world. It is also the adult's responsibility to release the wool and let go of their hands so that they can encounter their own yet-to-be revealed possibilities in the green and clear air.
