Official Introduction

This is a story of re-belief after losing. On the night of the full moon, the little postman Obi Rabbit will fly over the sea of clouds, find the wandering island, and deliver the letter to the original sender, reminding people not to forget the agreement with themselves.

"No one knows the right path, only those who are willing to believe go out of their own way."

Why are we getting older and older, but our dreams are getting smaller and smaller?

Above the fickle clouds, lives the child who will never grow up in our hearts. He lives on a wandering island, still remembers his original dream, has not lost his innocent courage, and curiously wants to know all the secrets of this world.

One day, he will ride a feather over the sea of clouds, find and remind us that only by listening to his inner call and walking the path he believes in, can he be at ease.

▋The dream chaser ahead makes the author determined to write a story for his dream

Captain Guo Chuan joined professional sailing at the age of 42 and became the first sailor in the world to sail around the earth in a 40-foot boat alone in 138 days. When he challenged the world record again, he unfortunately disappeared into the vast sea. Captain Guo Chuan is not challenging the sea, but human will and courage.

Director Zeppelin resigned from his public office in order to realize his dream of recording the land of Taiwan and took aerial shots in Taiwan for more than 20 years. Unfortunately, the landline plane crashed and died during the reconnaissance process. Director Zeppelin, lived a dream, lived a love.

They inspired the author to write a story for those dreams that died in the middle of the journey, and he hopes that this story can bring the courage to continue to believe in all dream catchers who are struggling in the middle of the journey.

▋The meaning of travel lies in the growth and experience along the way

"The Little Postman on the Sea of Clouds" describes the journey of the little postman in the mysterious world of clouds. As long as you write down your dreams and send them to the Owl Post Office to your future self, your dreams will come true. In order to send the letter to a place with three moons, the little postman Obi Rabbit started his pursuit.

During the journey, Obi Rabbit passed many small islands. These different islands actually represent the confusion and setbacks we will encounter in life; Obi Rabbit has gone through the four seasons, experienced life and death, and then is in a blooming flower. Discover the courage to believe again. Finally, he returned to the original place and found the answer in his mind.

In a story, Obitu met a little boy who was waiting for his father. Although his father did not return as promised, the boy found his father’s boat and decided to look for someone who wandered far away like his father when he grew up. Island, in fact, this boy is my imagination of Captain Guo Chuan's child.

The author also added the shadow of director Zeppelin in the story. Although the journey is over, these stories will continue to circulate in the sea of clouds, just like the spirit of the director, inspiring people to believe that a wandering island is calling you.

▋The surreal fantasy style of painting everyone has a different interpretation

This book uses exquisite and delicate electric painting methods to create a layered sense of picture. In the selection of paper quality, the foggy paper is specially selected for the inner pages, so that the whole picture book has more fantastic colors and can retain the color saturation.

Although there are not many words in the story, each picture has the moral behind it and the sentiment that is entrusted to it. Depending on how you feel it, maybe after reading the whole story, you will also hear the voice from your heart.

About the Author

In case of encounter

I have been fascinated by the world of text creation since I was a child, but I went to the Department of Psychology in the university, and I studied language teaching in the graduate school, which has nothing to do with creation. While serving as an animation producer, I gradually became curious and interested in storytelling. Maybe I can too! With such a thought, I tried to write the story in my heart.

Choosing fairy tales as the form of my writing expression should stem from the nostalgia for childhood and the yearning for that innocent, romantic, and free world! For writing, I don't have much ambition, but I think it's fun to hide in that world and be the creator of the world.

I am willing to continue to explore and experience such fun things. If you happen to like the story I wrote, it would be an honor.

The painter who has amnesia in the course of life, does not like to talk, so draws pictures, and regards creation as training, so that he can see his heart and become a creative practitioner of the stream of stars.

Thoughts are endless. Imagination is the great pill of creation and is the most important thing. For me, creation is not only an interest, but more like practicing spirituality, with my heart like a mirror, illuminating the sky, enriching bit by bit, and observing the world around me with my heart. Whether it is hand-painted (watercolor, acrylic, pencil) or electric painting, whether it is colorful paint or a single ink, whether it is with a digital pen, dead leaves or hand-painted, according to your own favorite technique, pick it up , Reflect the creator’s ideas, just have your own style.

This was originally fundraising in Tsk Tsk "Wandering island"When I was drawing the document, I got it in the plan at the same time (and the author's autograph), "The Little Postman on the Sea of Clouds" is the first book in the series. The two picture books are related, and there are official descriptions. "The Wandering Island" continues the world view of "The Little Postman on the Sea of Clouds". If "The Little Postman on the Sea of Clouds" describes the journey of the little postman with a poetic long lens, " "The Wandering Island" tells the story of the island through close-up shots.

The left page of the entire picture book is in the form of postcards and text, and the right page is an illustration. The text and pictures in the book are very healing, using fairy tales to explain the life course of people, and people of different backgrounds will have different resonance points. Just like the classic little prince, the little postman Obi Rabbit met on the wayVarious sceneries can have unlimited interpretation and association.
