I Really Can Sleep Alone
This picture book portrays various emotions that a child experiences when challenging themselves alone in a lighthearted and humorous way. It boasts a fresh storytelling structure where the child counts numbers up to ten on their own. When the child rabbit exclaims "Ten!" and says, "Mom, actually, I need you the most," and hugs her tightly, it helps alleviate the fear of the dark and the anxiety of sleeping alone that children may feel, dispelling their actual fears. This bedtime picture book portrays a balanced depiction of the various emotions that children feel, such as self-confidence, anticipation, anxiety, fear, restlessness, and how to overcome them.

(English) Whether his hair is long or short, I love my child for who he is. Jay prefers to get his hair cut by his mom than by a hairdresser. And he wants his hair blue.
I am a professional illustrator, working under the penname OkayTina. Works that I both wrote and illustrated include To All Mismatched Socks in the World; I’m Really Going to Sleep Alone; Tina’s Socks; Tina and Cloud Candy; and Aha! Discovery and Empathy in Action: Seeing Through New Eyes!, a pictorial guide for the Children’s Museum at the National Museum of Korea. I also illustrated The Perfect Day to Write in My Diary; I’m Off to School; and A Picturesque Day. My pictures have been published to France, Japan, Taiwan, and Italy.
