About

Dongdong is a little boy who is not very good at expressing his feelings and does not understand other people's thoughts. Dongdong bought a pack of sugar balls at the stationery store in the community. They were different in size, shape and color. He picked one and put it in his mouth, and actually heard the sofa's heartbeat. These are truly amazing sugar balls! Who else can he hear next?

Bai Xina, winner of the 2020 International Lindgren Prize for Literature, uses a candy ball that can hear the voices of all things to gently knock on the door of children's hearts and bring them courage and love. It was selected into the 2018 International Children's Book Alliance (IBBY) honor list and won the Japan Picture Book Award.
