About

Before dawn, little Pearl got up and went out with her grandma. They passed by the park and went to the vegetable market and flower shop. They bought a lot of things and made preparations all day long. In the afternoon, their father, mother, uncle, and aunt all came back. Okay, what are we all gathering together for?

This is a work that depicts an ordinary day's life from the perspective of young children. The narrative style is warm, the pictures are lively and interesting, and the plot arrangement is step-by-step. Raima continues his consistent style, focusing on detailed description without losing humor. It is a picture book that can be read over and over again, and it is also a meaningful prose poem that celebrates daily life.

About the Author

Lai Ma was born in 1968. In Lai Ma's creations, each seemingly humorous and light-hearted story is actually rigorously structured, making it not only reasonable but also logical. The details of each picture arranged with clever techniques have been repeatedly considered and carefully managed. In addition to being amazed at the first sight, it is worth reading again and again. His works have won almost all important picture book awards in Taiwan Province, which shows Laima's charm in the field of picture books.
