- Overview
-
The wordless picture book guides readers to consider a situation where the hunting of elephants for ivory by humans is reversed in a child's dreadful dream.
- Book Intro
-
In a child’s dream, teeth hunters appeared in the plain. Whose teeth were they hunting after? Elephant and human, a nightmare becomes reality by changing each other’s position.
“The message conveyed by the strong images – that we should treat other humans and animals as we would like to be treated ourselves – succeeds in not being clichéd.” - The Bologna Ragazzi Award Jury

Cho Wonhui
(English) Cho Wonhui studied multimedia design at Hongik University and studied illustration at HILLS. She enjoys telling stories by drawing animals and small and yet important things in nature. In Charles, her pictures tell the story of an alliance between weak and marginalized beings to fight against colossal violence.
Her illustrated books include Ice Boy, You Have to Go Alone, Teeth Hunter, The Important Issue, There Is a Line!, and Crash! She won the Bologna Ragazzi Award in the fiction category for Teeth Hunter and the first Best Illustration Book Award from Woongjin Junior Publishers for There Is a Line!
You Have to Go Alone, Cho transferred schools twice when she was young. Each time, she felt an unknown feeling, a mixture of regret, sadness, fear and expectation.
