A story about living together with wild animals created by an environmentalist and non-fiction writer.
- Book Intro
-
The author focused on the forests of Korea that connect Baekdusan Mountain with Jirisan Mountain, kindly showing us that there are so many roads for wild animals, not just roads for people, in the woods that we can visit so easily. Furthermore, she also discovered the paths of wild animals, which are difficult to see for humans, and expressed her wish that people will protect wild animals’ homes. This picture book leads children to naturally come to understand the importance and meaning of "co-existence" through the eyes of the author, who thinks of wild animals as our co-living partners, not just creatures to be protected for the sake of humans. The author clearly explains that the owners of the woods are animals and plants, and that people are just guests. She kindly presents her message that small acts, such as not picking up or gathering nuts from trees, are a way to respect the life of wild animals and, even further, a way to protect nature.
