The warm wind blows, the stem bends, the leaves swell, and the yellow flowers bloom. The main character in this book is a pumpkin! The story of the pumpkin, which gives us sweet and abundant food, unfolds. In addition to the orange pumpkins that we often think of, all kinds of pumpkins appear, and each boasts its own name. The pumpkins, who make sounds similar to their names, have a good laugh and then leave. This is a picture book that joyfully captures the imagination and excitement surrounding the word “pumpkin.”
The fun of this book comes from the words that you want to read aloud over and over again. Han Yeon-Jin, the author, who enjoys playing with words that expand into onomatopoeia and mimetic language, has once again created a wonderful sense of rhythm with her rich expressions. This is accompanied by the visual pleasure of typography. Just as each type of pumpkin has a different character, each type of typography has a different rhythm. The fresh pink of the typography and the fresh green of the pumpkins, and the ripe orange of the old pumpkins create a colorful atmosphere.
