These five pieces are selected from a picture book I created titled Dreaming With My Bird. The book tells the story of a girl whose favorite model bird is broken. She then makes a new model bird using magical materials by accident, and it becomes a real giant bird and invites her to the world where it lives. The way the story is narrated leaves room for the imagination for the audience. This experience can be understood as a dream or a real adventure. The author’s original intention is hoping people give themselves some time to dream. Dreams are also good memories and readers should enjoy their dreaming time.
