The power to change the world, children's imagination
Children are often referred to as ‘the future that exists in reality.’ Children always imagine things that do not exist in the world, and their imaginations often become reality in the near future. Even without mentioning Bill Gates, who imagined having a computer on every desk, or Steve Jobs, who imagined walking around and using the Internet. Nevertheless, children's imaginations are often dismissed as 'vain ideas.' Children with rich imaginations often think or act outside of the framework set by adults. Just like the main character of this book is Naro.

As for me, I am a child who thinks about other things whenever I have time. Even during class, while walking the dog, and while crossing the crosswalk, stories I've never heard of are blooming in my head. So there's no way you'll get good grades in school, and there's no way you'll be popular with your friends. It is common to hear chicheong-gu from teachers and even strangers.

But today, even when I get scolded by my teacher or scolded by adults, I feel like I'm walking on clouds. Because I decided to go to the amusement park with my mom tomorrow. As someone who grew up with a busy mother, I might be more excited about spending all day with her than going to an amusement park. But it wasn't until late in the evening that my mother returned with her tired face. “Naro, I’m sorry. I think her mom will have to work tomorrow too. “Let’s postpone going to the amusement park until later.” Even though I'm not good at studying or popular, I'm deeper inside than anyone else, so I can't even show my displeasure in front of her mother, so I return to my room and look out the window with tears in my eyes.

At that time, someone taps Naro’s shoulder. “Why again!” Naro looked back, making a fuss... … Isn’t Nalone’s dog, Pulp, standing on two legs and talking like a human? “You, please come with me.” I mean. In fact, it's not an ordinary puppy fluttering around, but a special agent from the imaginary world of Iruria. She usually hides her identity and collects the imaginary energy emitted by children in the real world and sends it to Iruria. But now there's a problem in Iruria, and they need my help. But why does she choose me? That’s because Naro is the most imaginative child in the world! Naro, who follows the flutter to Iruria, solves problems by unleashing his imagination, which is often criticized in the real world. Then, when I came back, my reality had changed a little, just a little.

Imagine earnestly with all your heart!
“Rescue Mom!” is the result of the long imagination of a lonely child whose shining part was unknown to anyone. A lonely child growing up with her working mother, she always wished her mother were less busy. Although she regretted the time she spent with her mother, her compassion for her mother was just as great. The child would spend his lonely hours drawing and imagining things. However, due to his introverted personality, he could not easily show his world to others. When classmates heard that this child grew up to become a picture book author, their eyes widened. That's why I thought this quiet, big classmate would definitely become a gangster or athlete. This child is picture book author Youngjin Kim.

Youngjin Kim believes in the power of imagination in children more than anyone else. Her imagination was the strength that allowed her to endure her lonely childhood and the driving force that made her a picture book writer. How to use imagination energy in her book, ‘Imagine earnestly with all your heart. Imagine every detail in detail. ‘If it doesn’t work out, we’ll continue’ is not a word thrown around in vain. She is truly a 'secret' for turning imagination into reality, with her own experience intact.

I think what Kim Young-jin wanted to convey to children through “Rescue Mom!” was, more than anything, how to use imagination energy. Children who are lonely because their mom and dad are busy, children who are sad because they are no better than others, and children who are faced with a reality that they would rather look away from... … . We may hope that these children will discover the tremendous power hidden within us and use that power to change reality and further change the world. So, do you hope that the future that those children will live in will be a slightly better world than the present?

Another thing Kim Young-jin wanted to include in this book was gratitude and consolation for ‘all mothers in the world who deserve respect,’ as she wrote in her tribute. He says he always bows his head when he thinks of his mother, who raised him and his older sister while working outside, or when he sees his wife, who does not work outside, but is busy raising her two sons. “Rescue Mom!” is also a gift to mothers, wives, and many other mothers whose lives are not much different from theirs. I hope that mothers and children will exchange warm comfort by reading this book together, and that they will dream together of a world where mothers can work more happily and raise children more happily. I imagine that if all mothers and children in the world dream together, changing the world might not be such a difficult task.

Shall we find the entrance to Iruria together?
Kim Young-jin is a picture book author who has been loved by children and parents for his illustrations in the ‘Ji-won and Byeong-gwan’ series. There are few picture books that more vividly capture the daily lives and psychology of our children living today. It is also surprising that she has continued a series of eight picture books with the same main character, which is rare in Korea. This time, Kim Young-jin opens a series of fantasy picture books featuring her imaginative boy Naro and her dog Putter as the main characters.

Children's imagination has been Kim Young-jin's main interest ever since her debut work, Singing Ball Pig. This is because we believe that children's healthy imagination is the driving force that can change not only their own future but also the future of the world. In her 'Adventures of Naro and Flutter' series, Kim Young-jin unfolds her everyday thoughts to her heart's content against the backdrop of her imaginary world, Iruria.

In the real world, I am a so-called ‘fool’ with nothing to show off. However, in the imaginary world of Iruria, he is reborn as a ‘hero’ who saves the world with his imagination. Of course, it would be difficult if it was nothing more than a daydream after waking up. As I solve Irulia's problems one by one with my dog, Flutter, I also gain the strength to overcome my own reality. What adventures Naro will experience in the future and how much he will grow is still unknown to anyone other than the author.

Anyway, the entrance to Iruria has already been opened, and the light coming from there is very tempting. Like the sound of the pipe played by the Pied Piper of Hamelin. However, unlike the sound of Hamelin's flute, that light will return children to the world in a healthier state.
