This is a picture book that depicts the pure and warm heart of a child chasing after the various sounds that we often overlook in our daily lives. For children who are just beginning to interact with the world, everything around them is full of curiosity, and sounds are no exception. The author delicately incorporates the curious little heart that wonders "thump thump, rustle rustle" into the work. To make the scenes of the child chasing natural sounds blend in with nature, the colors are deliberately restrained, allowing readers to look through the child's eyes and see what he is gazing at together.

The child playing with toy cars in the living room suddenly looked quietly out of the window at the playground. There, children were playing and making noises: some were sliding down the slide with a "whoosh", some were swinging on the swings with a "whoosh whoosh", and some were playing house with sand with a "sift sift". The child seemed to be attracted by the scene and dragged the toy truck out of the house.

While walking towards the amusement park with a "tap-tap" sound, a strange noise of "beep-beep-beep - swoosh-swoosh-swoosh" suddenly came. The child stopped and looked around, forgetting about going to the amusement park and started to follow the sound. After walking for a while, he saw a squirrel climbing up the tree with a "whoosh-whoosh" sound; further ahead, magpies were "chirp-chirping" and bringing twigs; and then he heard the sound of a cat rubbing its back in the sand with a "rustle-rustle".

I majored in painting both in my undergraduate and postgraduate studies. I enjoy listening to the messages nature conveys to us and am also fascinated by the diverse and hidden stories of each individual. I hope to create picture books that tell stories about nature and people, which can not only warm children but also comfort adults.
