{"product_id":"삐약이-엄마","title":"Peep's Mom","description":"Description\n\nA cat gave birth to a chick?! From Baek Heena, the beloved author of Cloud Bread and Moon Sherbet—celebrated for her rich imagination and beautifully textured, three-dimensional illustrations—comes Peep's Mom. This picture book tells a wonderfully absurd yet heartwarming story about what happens when the notoriously grumpy cat Niyang gives birth to a small, adorable chick named Peep.\n\nOne spring day, Niyang gobbles up a freshly laid egg in one bite. Afterward, her belly slowly begins to swell, and before long, she gives birth to a little yellow chick. Shocked and confused, Niyang can't deny that this chick came from her own body—and so she decides to become a good mother to Peep.\n\nThrough this story, the author gently reminds us that families come in many forms—not just the traditional mom, dad, and siblings, but also single moms, single dads, multicultural families, and more. Even without a father or without siblings, a family can still be complete as long as its members cherish and love one another.\n\nWhat will become of Niyang, the cat who gave birth to a chick? Will she manage to become a good mother? Or will she end up gobbling Peep up in one bite, just like before?\n\nOnce there was a notoriously fierce cat named Niyang. She was plump, greedy for food, and loved picking on animals smaller and weaker than herself. One spring day, she found a warm, freshly laid egg and swallowed it whole. A day passed, then two... and Niyang's already round belly grew rounder still.\n\n\"Oh, my stomach!\" Suddenly feeling the urge to go to the bathroom, Niyang rushed off. But what came out of her belly wasn't poop at all—it was a small, yellow, adorable little chick.\n\n\"Peep...\"\n\n\"All right... I'll call you Peep.\"\n\nAbout the Author\n\nBaek Heena is celebrated for her unique imagination and richly textured, three-dimensional illustrations. She gained international recognition after being named Illustrator of the Year in the Fiction category at the 2005 Bologna Children's Book Fair, though her work Cloud Bread had already become a beloved bestseller thanks to her remarkable talent.\n\nCloud Bread turns a daydream many of us had as children—about clouds—into a delightful story that brings back the joy of childhood imagination. Centered around a loving family, the story follows what happens when everyone who eats bread made from a cloud (brought home by the family cat) begins to float into the air, delighting both children and the adults who read it with them.\n\nWhat truly sets Baek Heena apart is the warmth and creativity of her three-dimensional illustrations. Unlike traditional flat artwork, her characters are crafted as paper figures dressed in cloth, set against handmade backgrounds built entirely from small props and materials—creating a cozy, tactile world that captivates readers with its warmth and charm.\n\nHer other beloved work, Red Bean Porridge Granny and the Tiger, brings a familiar folktale to life in a fresh way through hanji (traditional Korean paper) figures. Baek Heena's deep appreciation for family and human warmth shines through in both her stories and her artwork, filling every page with a gentle, heartfelt glow.","brand":"IBOOKPARK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49623687856356,"sku":"1337458436","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/9788\/6692\/files\/9791185564227.jpg?v=1786421262","url":"https:\/\/ibookpark.com\/en\/products\/%ec%82%90%ec%95%bd%ec%9d%b4-%ec%97%84%eb%a7%88","provider":"IBOOKPARK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
