{"product_id":"해피버쓰데이","title":"Happy Birthday","description":"Description\n\nThe Special Story of Zebrina, the Cheerful Zebra from Apartment 501\n\nWearing a golden-tasseled party hat and beaming with a bright smile at her reflection in the mirror, Zebrina the zebra girl looks somehow familiar. And indeed she is — the skating zebra who first appeared as a resident of the cheerful Apartment 501 in the 2010 debut book Last Night has now returned as the star of this new story, Happy Birthday. This marks the beginning of the author's long-held dream to tell, one by one, the stories of the residents of that cheerful apartment building. Open the book and discover the special story that Zebrina the zebra girl has to share. And what better month than December to read Last Night, set at Christmas, alongside Happy Birthday, which celebrates a birthday?\n\nHaving loved playing with dolls since childhood, the author still enjoys making doll clothes, drawing patterns, and sewing today. For this book as well, she personally designed and hand-sewed Zebrina along with her many outfits, props, and furniture. The meticulous process — from crafting detailed expressions and set designs to photographing each scene — was demanding, but it remains a joyful challenge for the author. Happy Birthday reflects all of this dedication, coming together in richly sensory visuals and lively, vibrant scenes. The author's signature concise yet immersive writing style, paired with witty and imaginative costume details, offers readers both reading pleasure and room for imagination. With its unique imagination and warm sensibility, Happy Birthday captures the magic of everyday life, and we hope it becomes a special gift this winter — one that helps readers close out the year and cheer on new beginnings.\n\nThe Magic of Ordinary Days\n\nHappy Birthday isn't simply a story of pink-tinted fantasy. Zebrina, the zebra girl, has been wearing racehorse blinders. Of course, she isn't actually a racehorse — she's a zebra, wild at heart and not easily tamed. Perhaps from neglecting herself while chasing only her goals, she has forgotten how to take care of herself and lost the energy and confidence to live her daily life. When Zebrina receives a magical wardrobe as a gift, she slowly begins to change. But it wasn't simply the new clothes that transformed her. Changing her clothes each day, tidying her home, and going out into the world — these small daily rhythms of self-care are what gradually changed Zebrina. Through the process of filling her days, our heroine comes to realize that caring for oneself in everyday life is true magic. Stepping outside, meeting neighbors, and taking small actions to care for herself and her surroundings breathe new life into her days. Especially through the special occasion of a 'birthday,' the story reminds readers how precious it is to celebrate one's own existence and care for oneself. Zebrina's special story offers readers deep comfort and connection, delivering the message that small daily changes can create magical transformations.\n\n\"Tomorrow, a chance to begin anew, is a wonderful gift. I hope we can all cherish our one-of-a-kind selves and live each day with care.\" — Baek Heena\n\n\"Wearing clothes I love gives me strength and confidence, like armor! A wardrobe is more than just a place to store clothes — it feels like a special presence that holds the things I love and takes care of me.\" — Baek Heena\n\nWith a fluttering heart, Zebrina opened the wardrobe door. Every day, a new outfit hung waiting inside. Whenever she put it on and began her day, she somehow ended up having a day that perfectly matched the outfit. A green jumper skirt paired with a polka-dot blouse was just right for a stroll through a flower garden. A blue silk ribbon. A lemon cream-colored tea dress. A tote bag with a pearl handle. White lace socks. Black pumps. 'I never knew clothes like these would suit me.' 'Maybe today I'll finally visit the Silver Tray Tea House.' Zebrina began to feel like a sorceress, able to cast all sorts of magic upon herself.","brand":"IBOOKPARK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49624339120356,"sku":"02142025980","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/9788\/6692\/files\/9791198807281.jpg?v=1786426696","url":"https:\/\/ibookpark.com\/en\/products\/%ed%95%b4%ed%94%bc%eb%b2%84%ec%93%b0%eb%8d%b0%ec%9d%b4","provider":"IBOOKPARK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
