The Songs That Brings Autumn

“Now’s the time!” – See autumn arrive on a cricket’s song
An accessible picture book

How does autumn arrive?

After waiting quietly all summer, a cricket senses the first breath of autumn and begins to sing.

Its song brings the season to life: colourful leaves rise into the sky, wild geese join the chorus, petals dance in the wind, and golden rice ripens in the fields. Sounds, colours and movements gather around the cricket’s song, carrying it all the way to the great round moon and a tree transformed by autumn.

On the final spread, a QR code lets readers listen to one of the cricket’s autumn songs. The full text is also presented in Braille on the back cover, inviting blind and visually impaired readers to experience the song of autumn through their fingertips.

I enjoy creating picture books on the small interactions with my nephews. My previous works include ‘I Like Music for My Eyes’, ‘The Skirt That Spreads to the End of the World’, ‘Big and Bigger’, ‘Whispering of The Tower’. ‘The Skirt That Spreads to the End of the World’ won the 2019 BIB Golden Apple award, and ‘I Like Music for My Eyes’ was awarded the main prize at the Lotte Publishing Awards.
