This book adopts cloth art expression techniques, extensively uses the cutting and sewing techniques of appliqué embroidery and cloth cutting embroidery in traditional Chinese craftsmanship, and carefully selects traditional batik, tie-dye, valerian, and other weaving and printing techniques. It combines the innocence and childishness of children's paintings with the distant artistic vision of Chinese landscape paintings. It not only reflects the ancestors' love of traditional handicrafts, but it also incorporates the characteristics of traditional Chinese ink painting, giving it a distinct aesthetic value.

I Really Want Strawberries
|
|
A snail heard that there were strawberries on the east side of the forest. So, he sets off. He met with many animals, but he was too small, and he crawled so slowly. He was worried that other animals were going to the east side of the forest to eat the strawberries, so he crawled as fast as he could. Days and nights passed. He was finally there, and there were lots of strawberries!

A flurry of sand and stones flew away, and the sky rumbled loudly. What is this noise? The forest animals fled the house, but the rain had stopped, the ground had not trembled, and the sky had not collapsed, so what was that sound? Only birds that fly high and can see far away notice when a whale falls from the sky.
