Overview

This picture book shows us that life is not a lonely battle, but a long-distance running that we do together with others.

Book Intro

(English) Long-distance Running

A Picture Book for Everyone Who Is Ready to Plunge into the World 

 

Five animals sprint forward all at once. After they go over a steep slope, a large river appears. Nonetheless, they keep running. Sometimes, they get distracted or stumble and fall. Still, nothing can stop them from running. Even rain, dark nights, or blazing sun cannot stop them. They only take a break. Everyone must have similar running experiences at least once. Think back to that moment yourself. Perhaps the landscapes you encountered while running felt different from when you walked. 

     At first glance, Long-distance Running seems to be simply about running, but the book actually tells us about life. After all, life parallels long-distance running in many ways. Even when you think you don’t have much trouble in your life, you may run into unexpected problems; you may feel inferior when someone surpasses you; sometimes, you may have to resolve tough challenges. However, you will also find quite a few nicer things than what you expected in your life. When you feel alone, look around. Someone may be running together next to you, and you can encourage each other. You may also find other people rooting for your long-distance running. Perhaps, we already know how sweet it feels when we take a trip or break from work. In this sense, running gives us a sense of achievement.
