How romantic and poetic is the beginning of "Little Mouse and Mom Living in a Big Grass with Flowers". The whole picture book creates a leisurely artistic conception like a paradise, so that parents can forget the troubles and anxieties in life, immerse themselves in it and wash the purity of their hearts like children.

Pure and natural attitude towards life:

The concise dialogue in the book reflects the natural attitude of the little mouse brother and the small animals:

Faced with the mistake of thinking that they are delicious food, small animals directly express their disgust, without forbearance, procrastination, resentment and revenge-this is the children's emotion: pure, pure, without complicated world;

On the way to find food, my mother comforted the hungry mice: "There will be food soon"-when the animals are hungry, they still maintain a positive and optimistic attitude;

The little mouse said to his hungry friend, "There is only one way: eat!" " "-this is the solution to the problem, which stems from the most primitive needs in the heart.

Innocence, childlike interest and free and easy painting style;

"Animal images sketched like stick figures, blurred and eclectic color blocks, irregular collages torn off at will, handwritten characters and fonts, black spots dripping at will on the screen ……", all of which echo the theme of romantic poems and carefree stories, and are very similar to children's paintings, full of childlike innocence and deeply loved by children.

Whether it is "words" or "pictures", this picture book is a combination of reality and fantasy, which breaks the boundary of the second dimension, brings infinite surprises and possibilities to children, develops children's imagination and makes them good at discovering the beauty of ordinary things.

A vivid metaphor of "words"

"Spider silk is spaghetti, snail shell is lollipop, hedgehog thorn is lollipop" and so on. The vivid metaphor in this article combines children's favorite food in daily life with unfamiliar elements in nature, which makes children feel kind and novel.

Application of "Picture" Collage

The picture book also combines the art form of collage: tearing off newspapers, cloth, wool and wrapping paper at will to form a part of the picture, which enriches the color, shape and texture of the picture and brings children a different sensory experience, which is very interesting.

The rich elements in the book are like a treasure chest for children to explore endlessly. Every time they discover something new, they will have new questions and can read them again and again.

Every ordinary day is a novel adventure for children. Parents should slow down your pace and feel the beauty and changes of the world with their children.
