★ The first graphic creation of Maoyu, the selected illustrator in Bologna
★ A story full of maternal love and philosophy, learn to hold hands with your children, bravely face the world and explore the world
The monster mother loves her baby so much that she wants to give the baby the best in the world and protect him forever. But as soon as the baby was born, the monster mother began to worry... This world is full of dangers, and it is safest to return to the mother's belly! So the monster mother strode forward with the baby in her belly with confidence. Along the way, in order to let the curious baby know the world, she kept swallowing all the good things she saw. But one day, the baby cried for help, but the monster mother could not respond to him. What was going on?
This is the first original picture book written and drawn by Maoyu, the selected illustrator in Bologna. This story was born out of his thought that "taking care of children is so tiring, I just want to stuff them back into my stomach!" The story truly shows the joy of a mother when she is pregnant with life, and her full love and protection for her child. It also explores how, as children grow up, mothers must learn to let go and allow their children to be independent, allowing them to try and experience everything in the world for themselves.
＊Suitable for 3-6 year olds to read together
About the Author
Catfish
As an illustrator, my favorite medium is picture books. When I paint, I like to try a little bit of everything and experiment with the possibilities of media. I like the cat’s belly and the dog’s nose the most. I hope I can continue to create works that are warm, powerful, and reflective of life.
