‘Now we are in the middle of sports event among green things.’ This book lightly begins with this sentence to show such a cute scene of all these green things everywhere. They all look round and similar, but actually they all have different shapes of fruit – apples, pumpkins, chestnuts, pineapples, tangerines, Korean melons, grapes, and so on. These characters look all very familiar to us but they are all colored in green, not the colors we usually come up with.
They are still fresh young fruit not yet fully mature with their own colors. Wherever we look around, it is filled with green colors everywhere, but not all things are colored in green, because there are so many colorful fruits along with green leaves. The green things who started running with their moms appear with their own colorful fruits. The team of acorns as a front-runner, and the team of apples closely following the acorn team…
The scene of pairs of mangos, tomatoes and tangerines looks even better compared to the green scenes that readers used to see. And this is the expecting moment of these green babies turning into their own mature colors like their moms. These hardworking runners cheer each other and they sometimes get wet by rain, or enjoy the sun. All these green characters are so lovely.
