the wind blew

Description

What happens when the wind blows? The story of a village created by the wind is made into a fun picture book. This is a book full of fun, with trees swaying in the wind and predicting and imagining what will be blown away by the wind next as you turn each page. The characteristics of objects blowing and shaking in the wind were captured well.

This is a watercolor painting that creates a comfortable feeling by using many round curves without any sharp edges. When I read a book, I get excited because I encounter rhythmic writing that makes me feel like I'm singing a song. The ending of the story is also strange and makes me laugh.

publisher review

The Wind Blows. The wind blows people's items into the sky one by one, as if playing a joke. People are making a fuss, running here and there trying to catch the flying objects. People are anxious that the wind will not return these many items.
As if the wind is making fun of those people, it randomly mixes up the things they were playing with and throws them to the floor. It depicts the phenomena that occur as the wind blows in a fun way.
