This is a warm picture book containing onions, and it is also a picture book that can stimulate discussion and thinking from a child's perspective.
──Yu Pei-yun, Associate Professor and Director of Taitung Institute of Childhood Studies
After reading it, my heart feels warm. It is pure, natural and extremely warm, allowing us to feel the power of love, trust and forgiveness, and how they can change our hearts and awaken our conscience.

This is a picture book with a human touch. Grandma Chunman’s Grocery Store is the Taiwanese version of the Convenience Store of Sorrow. This book will be the best gift for yourself and your children, and it is also an important gift for the original Taiwanese authors who created their works with care.
── Lai Yumin, a reading promotion teacher at Yingge Elementary School
A very warm work, it brings back memories of my childhood, not just nostalgia, but also a strong emotion. The pictures are integrated with real objects, giving the whole book a sense of time and space. I like it very much.
——Wang Yifeng, General Secretary of the Dandelion Story Reading Promotion Association

About the Illustrator
Guo Feifei
Born and raised in Taiwan, I am a heavy matcha fan with a phobia of my real name. I like hamsters, mumbling, autumn, penguins and the UK. I often doubt that I can't draw, and at times like this I need to be pulled out of the dead end and try to cheer myself up. It’s definitely not the best one, but I will keep trying. "I can fly" is the first picture book work. It is currently available in English, American, Canadian, German, and Slovenian. It has been shortlisted for the 2019 UK "Klaus Flugge Prize". There are also Chinese and English versions of the picture books "The Perfect Sofa" and "Everyone Can Draw".
