The World of AIWS
The story follows a girl who experiences AIWS. She crosses mountains and rivers, rides a caterpillar slide through the forest, but then loses her way when a cat suddenly grows huge and frightens her . In the end, her parents' voices guide her back from the spinning room, and she wakes up surrounded by love. Through this imaginatively whimsical picture book, I hope to help parents and educators understand this rare condition and embrace the warmth of accompanying children as they grow.
The Elves Secret
Do you ever wake up feeling really tired, with messy hair? That’s because you don’t know the secret of the little elves!While you’re asleep, they sneak in, dress you up, and take you on an adventure. You’ll go to many places—somewhere different every day. But one thing never changes: they always bring you back to your room before you wake up. No wonder it’s so hard to get out of bed in the morning—you’ve been out playing all night! Sometimes, when your eyes are closed, you might hear a faint rustling sound… but they try so hard to keep this secret from you!
Why Dose Emma Bite Her Nails
This picture book is inspired by my observation that many children have a habit of biting their nails. Research shows this often stems from the family environment: when children feel stressed, lonely, or unnoticed, they may bite their nails unconsciously. In my book, a little girl bites her nails in different situations—such as when her parents miss her performance at kindergarten, when she plays alone, or when she goes shopping with her mom. But her parents never realize that she is actually using her nails to make a hedgehog craft. This project aims to remind parents that some of a child’s “bad habits” may simply be a sign of a need for love and attention.
Let’s Go Potty Toghter!
I believe every girl has a few "bathroom buddies" from her school days. During the ten-minute breaks, the walk to the restroom might involve gossiping, looking at the scenery, snacking, fixing their bangs, or even sneaking a peek at the boys in the next class! The few dozen meters from the classroom to the bathroom feel like a special path of friendship for girls. Inviting a classmate to go to the bathroom together is their unique way of showing friendship.
