book introduction

David Carly, who also has a lot of fixed readers in Korea, talks about his father with Alzheimer's disease this time. The picture book "My Little Dad" poetically and concisely depicts the relationship between the father and son of a single daddy family and the male family members who work in caring for each other, such as raising, growing, living, supporting, and caring, creating emotional bonds.

The main keyword of the picture book "My Little Dad" is "Tiny or Smalling Dad," as the title goes. When will my dad get smaller? Dads in this era can often get smaller, such as when they are broken by their bosses, when they fail promotion exams, and when their children are sick. Among them, isn't it the most shockingly small event when you have a degenerative disease that causes you to lose your memory and act like a child? The artist depicted the strange reversal of the relationship between his son and his father, sometimes humorous and sometimes touching.

Introduction of the book provided by the publisher

A good influence that allows us to see the form of care differently.

The story of a son caring for his small dad without losing his humor even in sad situations!

David Carly's calm yet warm writing.

Artist Jean Julien of the exhibition 'Then, There' drew a picture book and wrote the Korean title himself

Dad's gotten smaller!

Dad only looks for sweets.

I cry like a child.

Sometimes I can't find the keys.

I also leave the television on.

But curiously, he's smiling. Always.

Dad is getting smaller and smaller!

A typical symptom of cognitive decline, commonly referred to as 'dementia', is 'degeneration'. The meaning of regression is 'backward from the current position spatially or winding back to the past in a time earlier than the present'. Dementia corresponds to temporal regression. Humans grow until they become young and then begin to age, and when degenerative diseases occur, they return to the past. Acting like a child, I don't remember anything recent, but remembering things clearly from my childhood, it is clear that time is back.

The little father my son takes care of, he didn't forget to laugh!

This book shows the father from his son's point of view. The deep sorrow of the sick father is obscured and hard to see. It was also intentionally covered. When the child is young, the father looks very big. After the child grows up, he is the same height as his father for several years. But at some point, my dad gets a little smaller. The father tells his son, "You're bigger than me now!" but he grew up a long time ago, and on the contrary, his father was getting smaller. After more time, my dad sits in a chair and his feet don't touch the floor. The father in the picture gets smaller and smaller.

The son notices that his father's change is strange. The smaller the father, the more he acts like a child. I don't clean my room and fall asleep in a bathtub or something. She likes sweets and sometimes cries like a child. I couldn't find the key or forgot to turn off the TV. One day my son went on a long business trip. Even though we haven't seen each other for a month, my son called my dad every day. When I got home, my dad got smaller. The house was a mess, and my dad, who couldn't go outside, was eating the feed he had bought without raising a dog.

The son now accepts his father, who is as small as a doll. The son puts his small father on his lap and sings a lullaby. My dad, who got smaller, lost his hair white. Even if I forgot everything else, I didn't forget to smile. The son who goes to see his father every day reads a book or plays with him as his father did for him when he was young. It's a relief that my dad is always in a good mood. The son goes out for a walk with his father on his shoulders. As if treating a child who learns everything for the first time, he takes care of, cares for, and cares for his father.

A good influence that allows us to see the form of care differently.

Life is a battle against time since birth. Rebekah Solnet said, "Time always wins. Our victory is just a moratorium," he said. After birth, you have to fight against the rest of your time. Grow up, go to school, and when you finish your studies, you go to make money, get married, have children, and get old.... The sweet grace that happens sometimes will be in looking at the time, memories, and each other with the people around me. In that sense, father and son are the closest families and have a relationship to take care of each other. The virtue of this picture book is that men practice caring independently in our society, where caring for the elderly is mainly a burden on women, and conversely, the procedure in which the son takes care of the father after the father takes care of the son is naturally depicted. Maybe it contains our ideals. It is an extremely beautiful depiction of Alzheimer's disease of parents who cannot handle it, a man, not a woman, supports his parents in an intimate way, and shows an example of a family whose son's attitude and feelings toward his father's disease are mature. All of this is ideal. There should be a picture book that depicts reality extremely bloody, but an ideal picture book is also needed. Ideal picture books can give readers a better way and exert a good influence.

He doesn't lose his humor even in sad situations.

Ahead of the publication of the book, I asked writer David Carly for a written interview. When asked what prompted her to write the story of this book, she answered that a few years ago, her mother had a family member who had early senile dementia in shock, and that's why she wrote this story. There is always humour in David Carly's work. The author's intention is also clearly revealed in the part that the father forgot many skills in human life, but did not forget to laugh until the end. The author's "I don't think life is just sad, happy or fun. Even in very happy moments, there can be a little bit of sadness, and even in sad moments, you can find humor. That's why I always mix these two elements together when I write." This answer also speaks for all of his books.

Picture book by Jean Julien, the artist of the exhibition 'Then, there'

The book was painted by Jean Julien, the artist of the exhibition "Then, There," which was held at Dongdaemun DDT from last fall to early this year. The exhibition was a huge success and since a few years ago, someone I knew was a known artist, but now Jean Julien is a successful artist with quite a few Korean fans. Jean Julien lives in France, but has an exclusive agency in the United States and is a visual artist who works in all directions around the world. Painting on traditional media such as exhibitions, publications, magazines, etc. is basic, and he is an artist who draws and sells anything that can be painted, such as surfboards, various packaging, goods, clothes, posters, etc. without boundaries and even produces videos. Since several years ago, he has created and exhibited brands with Korean creative director Heo Jae-young and sold clothing products, which is said to have more Korean fans than any other country. "My Little Dad," which will be one of world-renowned artist Jean Julia's few published picture books, will reach readers who have the lingering effects of last year's exhibition as a book worth keeping.
