book introduction

* A picture book of support for a child who tries anything for the first time.
* A story about a baby bear's first chopstick challenge.
* a picture book that makes a clear and pure smile

Picture book that supports my child's first chopsticks.

Our main character, the baby bear, has a problem. I learned how to use chopsticks from my mom bear, but it's so hard. So I went to my smart friend, Duck. A baby bear and a duckling are together, and a mother bear brought a cherry tomato. The baby bear challenges himself to pick up a cherry tomato with his chopsticks! The first challenge fails, and the duck speaks to the dispirited baby bear. "You can eat it with a fork!" But the baby bear is a grown-up brother now, so I want to eat it with chopsticks. Second try! Start! Will the baby bear succeed in using chopsticks?
It's my first time using chopsticks!』 is a picture book that delivers a message of support to every child who challenges something for the first time.

It's a story that cheers for chopsticks that I've never done before.
Are you good at using chopsticks? In Eastern cultures, including our country, we usually eat with chopsticks and spoons. But it's not that easy for children to use chopsticks. According to a survey, about 80 percent of elementary school students are stressed by poor chopsticks.
This picture book supports our child's efforts by humorously telling a story based on the first chopsticks. Everything children encounter while being born and growing up in the world is amazing and exciting. It's because there are a lot of things I've never done before. When you try something for the first time, it's bound to be clumsy and difficult. But children's hearts are very fluttering and fun. This is because we value and enjoy the process of trying regardless of the outcome. So it's fun to not be afraid of failure and to challenge anything boldly. This book sends a pleasant message of support to every child who challenges anything for the first time.

a picture of a pure and intense collage
The picture in this book is pure and powerful as if celebrating and cheering children on their first challenge. By partially using colored pencils and paints, the colored paper was torn and reconstructed and attached to the collage technique to complete a naturally eye-catching screen. A cute baby bear and a yellow baby duck to wear red against a natural background cast with green mountains and blue skies are so cute.
The simple, deep green background makes you feel peaceful no matter which page you open. The baby bear in red shows a strong side of being fearless and challenging the first chopstick. The yellow duckling represents a clever chatterbox friend character. The caterpillars and flowers that bring the screen to life tell their own stories.
The scene where cherry tomatoes rise high in the sky and fall is the highlight of this picture book. Not only the main characters of this book, baby bears and ducklings, but also the readers of this book will not forget the wonderful experience of leaving chopsticks and flying cherry tomatoes far away.

The pages that adults and children read together are also interesting.
Since when did we eat using chopsticks? When did they start using forks in the West? Will using chopsticks improve my dexterity and make my head smarter? How should I teach my children how to use chopsticks?
There is a colorful and fun appendix page that deals with Eastern and Western food culture and chopstick education in our country. The Eastern and Western cultures related to chopsticks and forks are also interesting, and you will also listen to information on parenting tips given to adults who want to teach how to use chopsticks well. While providing interesting information related to chopsticks, we make sure that our child eats well and grows healthy, whether it is with bare hands, fork or chopsticks.
