The three children picture booksSince starting graduate school last year, I have published three books before graduation. It is the result of combining the storytelling learned in the master's program and the drawing as an artist. Above all, it is rewarding to see my three picture books searched for on the Amazon store. Of course, looking back, I think it would have been better if I had written it more perfectly. But I can't achieve everything from the beginning. And I didn't set out to do it for any fame or fortune. I hope that children who need to read this book will feel encouraged, happy, energized, and ready to start their day again after reading it. I think this kind of motivation is enough. 'Hello, My Robin', published last winter, is the story of a child who is isolated after being bullied. The main character, Robert, refuses to go to school due to the trauma of being bullied. He spends every day at home playing games. For him, his father tries to attract his attention by hanging a small birdhouse on a tree branch near his room. But Robert's wound completely cut him off from the outside world. Then one day, a pair of pretty robins build a nest on a tree branch near Robert's room and lay eggs. And Robert opens his heart as he watches the robin lay eggs and the babies come out of the eggs. He slowly comes out of the house and sometimes observes the nest on the tree outside. How happy will the parents be when they see Robert like this? But as time passes, the time comes for the robin couple and their babies to leave the nest. Can Robert, who is left behind, overcome his breakup with Robin? The corresponding story unfolds later. The story was inspired by a true story in which my best friend showed a pair of robins visiting a tree in her yard and laying eggs. And it was published as part of a storytelling assignment in my master's class. Professor Stephanie Boggs, who helped me with this publication, encouraged and supported me from beginning to end. And earlier this year, I published my second book following 'Hello, My Robin'. The first draft of this book was already written before ‘Hello, My Robin’. This is a fanciful tale with a happy ending in which her daughter, tormented and with her ego ruined by her narcissistic mother, gets to make her own life. If you are interested in narcissists, reading this will help you learn how to overcome the pain caused by them. This story is about the snail Anna and her mother Nancy. Anna, the most beautiful snail in town, is raised as a trophy by her narcissistic mother. She had to strive to be the best. Then one day, an accident happens that destroys her beautiful shell. Her narcissistic mother, Nancy, is ashamed of her. The story is that after many twists and turns, Anna finds her lost self and confidently becomes independent from Nancy. The recently published book 'I Am a Good Artist' was created to introduce children to the world of the artist profession. This book was created by asking questions and finding answers with my daughter. It started with the curiosity of whether children who want to become artists actually hesitate because of prejudice. This is an autobiographical, educational picture book about discovering that while working as an artist, the most essential things were internal factors, not external ones, and that persistence, perseverance, and passion were the more critical keywords than anything else. After publishing the three books above, the greatest reward remains that I kept the promise I made to myself. More than anything, I hope these books give someone good energy and hope. Thank you again to those who purchased my book and showed interest.
