2022 Korea Publication Culture Industry Promotion Agency Selected for excellent publication content production support project. A picture book can tell you infinitely. A picture book in which a picture is drawn and written in it comes to the viewer with colorful prism colors like a rainbow the moment the book comes out into the world. Of course, even if you look at one picture book, your perspective will change depending on your experience and background knowledge. So Lee Jung-hee, Jang So-hyeon, and Lee Hye-seon tried to translate our 'differences' from picture books into writing.

in the book
Start your morning with a cup of chrysanthemum tea every day. (Omitted) Since I live with anxiety that invades my mind from time to time, the picture book 『Anxiety』 by Mija Jo came to me in a different way. (Omitted) 'Hwasumije' Hwasui 未濟. By the time the fox crosses the river, it wets its tail. As a Korean proverb, it is like drowning your nose in cooked rice. (Omitted) I wonder if anxiety is fundamentally our destiny to live in a world where we have no choice but to wet our tails. How can I not be anxious about life in a situation where I have to navigate through a world where there are more things that don't go my way than things that go my way, with a small boat called my existence. Living in a world that is not going according to one's will, they experience joy, anger, and sadness, and as they do not want to be swept away by those emotions, their anxiety grows as a defense mechanism, and they become a huge monster bird. In the end, living with anxiety must begin with acknowledging the instability of existence without a will. It is to accept the various emotions that come from the instability of existence as mine without turning away. Acknowledging and accepting life as a matter of course, not a waste, and starting again...
- Lee Jung-hee, from <Anxiety>
One of the things I deal with as an important process when I have group counseling with students is drawing a life graph. (Omitted) It is a work of drawing at which point in my life I felt happy and at which point it felt difficult. (Omitted) If you draw a graph, you can see how I endured when it was difficult and what made me happy. It is a time to get a macroscopic insight into one's life. There is a picture book that looks back on our life in 100 ways, like a graph of life. It is "100 Life Picture Book". It contains the process of life from 0 to 100 years old (omitted). New topics always appear in life. And my life graph fluctuated and lived with those issues. There were times when it peaked, and there were times when it fell below zero. However, looking back, rather than the pain of that zero point, I feel proud and proud of myself for resolutely pushing the curve of the graph. And my life graph is still in progress.
- Jang So-hyeon, from <100 Life Picture Books>
Even the steamed rice is so-so-bok-so-bok like snow. Grandmother looking at the reddish sky, grandmother who went to heaven a long time ago, and young and beautiful mother, now called grandmother, overlap. (Omitted) Now I'm at an age where I can understand my grandmother's heart, but there's no way to tell her. (Omitted) Even the grandmother in the white flower field must have been a dreamy girl once. And then you become a mother, and you become a grandmother. How many springs did grandma greet? (Omitted) As the white snow turns into a flower and blooms, Vincent van Gogh's 'Almond Blossom' came to mind in the history of 'My Love'. This is a painting that Van Gogh painted for the newborn child of his beloved brother Theo. In Europe, almond flowers are known as a symbol of new life, hope, and resurrection, blooming the earliest in early spring after overcoming a long winter. This work is the first gift he gave to his nephew and the last flower painting he painted in the last spring of his 37-year life.

Introduction of the book provided by the publisher
● 2022 Korea Publication Industry Promotion Agency Selected for Excellent Publication Content Production Support Project
● Three perspectives of a picture book
A single picture book can tell you infinitely. A picture book that draws a picture and writes there must have the intention of the creator, but the moment the book comes out into the world, it comes to the viewer with colorful prism colors like a rainbow.
Of course, even if you look at one picture book, your perspective will change depending on your experience and background knowledge. So Lee Jung-hee, Jang So-hyeon, and Lee Hye-seon tried to translate our 'differences' from picture books into writing.
Maybe those who are interested in picture books, and those who go on to study are all like us? If you look at a picture book, you might want to find some answer there, just like a reference book. The three of us decided to give 'freedom' to the frame for such a picture book. So, each of the three people talked about a picture book with their own 'eyes'.
So, someone looked at the picture book through various psychological mechanisms, and someone else tried to connect the images found in the picture book to art works. Someone else looked at picture books from their own educational point of view.
Maybe this is just the beginning. Someone with a different life experience and knowledge may open a different path. We will first open the way to the 'magical' world of picture books.
