Regarding the Korean writer Lee Hye-ri, children who have paid attention to "magic elephants" must be familiar with it.
My baby has read her "Run" and "Rainy Day", the first time to contact such a form of picture books, at first sight, read huanyan, re-read many times, never tired.
Li Huili majored in visual design at university, and later studied for a master's degree in visual design, she is good at observing children's expressions and movements, making slightly exaggerated amplifications, and her works have exaggerated character expressions and distinct personalities. The black and white lines and colors are manifestations of this personality – and after my baby and I had developed a fixed expectation for her work, this "Swallowtail Butterfly and moon" completely subverted this impression.
Babies simply can't associate this book with the "Run" series, so I can't help but sigh, never set a label for a children's book author and painter, as a reader, always treat them as a child who has never met, they will always surprise you, they will surprise you, they will surprise you, they will tell you through their works, picture books are not limited, this is the real personality.

Speaking of this different "Swallowtail Butterfly and Moon" than before, my baby and I really present two very different reading experiences.
Due to the advantages of age and resources, the books I have read are naturally larger than my preschool daughter, so for me, the story of "Swallowtail Butterfly and Moon" is not unfamiliar, so for an adult, it is a warm story. This is the story of a moon that guards the baby swallowtail butterfly growing up, but does not interfere. For me, it is easy to empathize with the moon in the story, she is like the old mother in "Eye Sending", which makes me feel:
A father-daughter mother-son relationship only means that your fate with him is that you are constantly watching his back drift away in this life and this life. You stand at this end of the path and watch him fade away where the path turns, and he tells you with his back: No need to chase.
Many times, the child's growth process must experience, you are like the moon, standing in a distant place to do rush, silently cheering and refueling, but the real growth, or rely on the swallowtail butterfly's own efforts and strength, break the cocoon into a butterfly, and then flapping wings to fly away, you can still silently cheer up, silently pray...
Baby, isn't that what growth is all about?
It turns out that an adult's perspective and way of seeing the world is old-fashioned, listening to the interpretation of the baby, I think this "warmth" is probably self-moved, when the mother read a lonely.

She said, I don't like the story at all! I can't take it anymore!
I said, this is the author who painted "Run", why don't you like it, how beautiful this picture is, so beautiful that I want to take it down to make wallpaper.
She, Zhenzhen has words: Mom, you are right, this painting is very beautiful, but the story is sad!
sadness? Sorrow!
So why not the kind of books that make people happy like "Run" and "Rainy Days"?
……
This dialogue is a bit messy, and I'll draw the main points. First, the child expressed the emotion of "dislike"; second, the reason for not liking was not that the picture was not beautiful, the story was not good, and the reason for not liking was largely because I told her that she had read the author's book, and she was very confused, why not continue to draw those happy stories of running and playing, and the color of the picture collided; third, this dislike emotion was actually - she felt sad.
The reasons for the sadness are as follows: the swallowtail butterfly gave birth to the baby and was eaten by the big mantis - the child's perception: how pitiful the caterpillar baby is, there is no mother.
The moon was orphaned by the swallowtail butterfly mother on her deathbed, and it was difficult to find ten caterpillar babies left in the human world, but the magpie took one, the long-tailed ate one, and the tsubaki elephant still stared at one - the child's feeling: so nervous, so nervous...
Like a suspense movie with dense drum beats, and like a wilderness survival game, ten caterpillars are the survival of the fittest, and finally only one remains, and the only one left still can't rest for a while, and immediately begins a painful metamorphosis...
Aaaah, Mom, it's so pathetic, I can't take it anymore!

If growth is the page that can be turned over, and the colorful butterflies occupy the pages, if the growth is just to see the cocoon into a butterfly, dancing, then it is good.
However, every step of growth, just like this ill-fated and lonely caterpillar, sometimes the mother is the moon, sometimes the teacher is the moon, sometimes some caterpillars do not even have such attention...
Yes, I felt sadness, but at the same time, I thought that sadness and warmth are not incompatible. There is this sad emotion in the world, like the joy of painting whirring, and a good writer must also paint sadness to you, but in the end, there will be hope and warmth.
I don't know how much Miss Baozi will be able to read this book thoroughly and give her time, just like the moon looks at the children of the whole world, not talking, not persecuting, not demanding, going with the flow, feeling everything.
