"This book begins with children' daily experiences yet subtly transcends them, guiding readers from discovery to emotion and finally to reflection. Through its progression from small to large, the 'I' gradually expands—no longer confined to the 'small self' of daily life but merging into the 'greater self' of the world. Readers deeply realize: this individual 'I' is intrinsically connected to the complex, diverse whole of life."
—Ah Jia, Children's Literacy Promoter
