The story must pass through the readers' hands and stay in the readers' hearts in order to survive forever. ─Seal Dog Landlord
 
Sometimes we have to wait for the rain to stop, and sometimes we have to walk in the rain.

In this collection of essays, Sea Dog Landlord writes about what he sees and feels in life with the flavor of a story, about the worries and glimmers of all living beings, and about the memories evoked by picture book stories.

For many years, he has used picture book stories as a reference for viewing life. He wrote : "I don't believe that a story can dramatically heal someone's wounds or turn someone's life around. After all, people's obsessions are as heavy as mountains. Stories cannot move mountains, but some stories can The clouds resting on the top of the mountain continue to drip water through the rocks, cutting grooves and cracks in the mountain, opening the way for light to shine into our hearts deep in the mountain."

He also collected many texts related to stories, picture books, and writing, written by dozens of writers in different fields. The 45 essays in the book also dialogue with these meaningful words...

Yoko Sano, who is widely known for "The Cat that Lived a Million Times," once said that she created picture books to make up for her shortcomings, "not as an objective adult, to observe and understand children, and to tell them about it." Instead, "Take the trouble to, Speak to the child in me."

Sea Dog Landlord responded in the article "Back to the Past": "How I wish I had read these books when I was a child. I imagine that I now go to my past self, sit down and tell him these stories, and he will definitely shed tears. Yes, I will pat his back, and if he is willing, I also want to hold him, accept his tears, and accept everything about him."
