Somnambulist Circus

The Sleepwalking Circus is a heartwarming children's picture book created by Macao youth illustrator Zheng Shuyue. With delicate brushstrokes, it outlines a fantastical adventure in a child's inner world. The story revolves around Beibei, a little bunny who, burdened by her parents' expectations, keeps her true feelings hidden deep inside. One night, she enters the Moonlight Circus and meets a group of unique companions. With their company, Beibei gradually releases her suppressed emotions and learns to break down emotional barriers through sincere dialogue. This dream journey is not only a fable of self-awakening and growth, but also contains the wisdom of parent-child communication – at the end of the book, there is a practical "I-message" guide for emotional expression, which guides parents to interpret children's hidden needs with an empathetic perspective. Through its magnificent visual narrative and warm plot design, the work builds an emotional bond of two-way understanding for modern families, allowing "love" to flow through dialogue and making growth no longer lonely.
