The Road
This picture book delves into the concept of maintaining a positive mindset and attitude toward life. The narrative employs the metaphor of a "road" to represent life’s journey, encapsulating a spectrum of emotions including joy, sorrow, frustration, loneliness, confusion, and anxiety. It provides support and comfort to readers who steadfastly travel their unique paths with perseverance.
On the first page, the story begins with a person walking alone on a road. The road morphs into many different shapes before him, but he relentlessly presses ahead at his own pace, adapting himself to all the moments and emotions the road creates—a perfect reflection of how readers navigate their own lives.
As we walk along the road of “life,” this book provides readers a pause for introspection about adopting a flexible attitude toward life. It also reignites the long-lost spark of motivation and vitality in those who find themselves exhausted by the monotonous cycle of daily life, those yearning for respite, and those who seem to have no goals in life.
