Even had to call dad to solve the puzzle.
What day is today?
——A very ordinary family scene,
The warmest and sweetest daily life of a family!
A classic work by Lin Mingzi!
Lin Mingzi always gazes at children gently and attentively, outlining the common aspects of childhood with pure colors and perfect lines, while showing the unique and critical moments in the children's growth and changes. ——Zhuang Shiying｜Children’s book writer
Lin Mingzi makes the whole picture book like a micro-movie, and every turn of a page is a shot switch or transition. The control of the composition and perspective of the picture is at the level of a picture book textbook, which is very exciting. ——You Peiyun｜Experienced children’s literature researcher and creator
