Description: A picture book by Aiwan (real name Hwang Eun-ju), celebrated for bringing a fresh new sensibility to Korean comics through her work Water Boy. This book showcases a broad and profound world that resonates with readers from children to adults, weaving together themes of life, death, the universe, and the soul. Once again, Aiwan's mysterious and distinctive artistic style—beloved by many readers—unfolds across these pages. A child without eyes who somehow understands a world larger than what can be seen digs several round holes. Through these holes, countless animals set off on a long journey. Their movements as they depart are quiet, secretive, and almost solemn. No one offers a clear explanation for why the child digs the holes, or why so many animals travel through them. Rather than following a logical storyline, the book invites readers to create their own meaning through a series of striking images and dreamlike, poetic text. By the final page, readers may find themselves feeling the distant, lingering fatigue that comes after returning from a long journey far away. Though it uses a comic-like format, this book feels like it has carved out an entirely new territory—something that is neither quite a picture book nor quite a comic. Author: Aiwan Born near the coast of Gangwon-do, she soon moved to Seoul. She majored in visual design in college and has published picture books including Water Boy and The Hole. Her lifelong dream is to continue creating imaginative and delightful picture books.
