Description

"Clang!" Mom heard something falling, and when she saw the little boy with the water cup that fell to the ground, she immediately crossed her arms and glared at him angrily. The boy looked innocent, and it turned out that he wanted to get water for his father quickly, so he knocked the water cup over. When Mom heard what the boy said, she got gentle and bent down to encircle her little boy with her arms and smiled lightly: "So that's how it is!"

"Clatter!" Dad heard beans spilling to the ground, and then saw the little boy standing in the center. He sighed with his hand on his forehead, eyes full of reproach. The boy explained nervously: "I wanted to help grandma find her glasses, but accidentally spilled the beans..." Dad heard, lost his frown, and leaned down to give his little boy a hug: "So that's how it is!"

In the book, the daily scenes go like this. Parents first saw the boy doing something wrong and quickly lose their temper. After hearing the well-intentioned motive of the boy, they realized that the truth was not what they originally thought, so blurted out in relief: "So that's how it is!"

The illustrator used character drawing skills to empathize the changes in the child's and parents’ expressions and body language to feel their emotional changes. Parents can feel the child's fear and cowering under the parents’ anger from the child's lowered eyebrows, and children can feel the parents’ apology and comfort from the parents’ unfolded arms after understanding in the book.

Most of the time, things are not what they look like. Look out for the good intentions behind a child's wrongdoing, because there may be invisible reasons and unexpected intentions.

This book allows parents to hear their children's feelings and voices when they are misunderstood, and without preconceptions, to understand what their children are thinking before deciding how to deal with their children's wrongdoings; it also allows children to understand that if their parents misunderstand them, they may be angry, but they will also be willing to listen to their own thoughts.
