Who exactly are we? Why do we always lose ourselves in comparison?
  A classic that makes you exclaim "cute" yet smile thoughtfully
  A fairy tale for children, and a picture book for adults

  It reminds one of the line from "The Little Prince": "Grown-ups are very strange, they always talk in numbers." This book also has the feel of a Korean "Little Prince."__Reader

  Who are you? To find the answer, accept all measurements...

  From the moment you are born,
  Your weight and height, your volume and eyesight, are just the beginning of measurement.

  As you slowly grow up,
  Your physical strength, explosive power, endurance, concentration, and thinking ability...
  Are all essential conditions for a healthy life.

  When you enter society,
  You will try to prove who you are; if you fail, can you get back up again?

  You gradually get used to visible standards,
  Sleep quality, exercise frequency, consumption habits, all clear on your phone app.
  And for the invisible loneliness, solitude, anxiety, you try to measure...

  The subjects in the book are cats. Cats of various fur colors are both the subjects performing measurements and the objects being measured.

  The author is humorous and sarcastic, making all numbers the basis for exploring "who I am," if you are willing to honestly seek; and behind all standards, our inner perception is hidden. Do we view everything and everyone with stereotypical eyes?

Rave Reviews

  Korea's online bookstores YES24‧Kyobo Book Centre‧Aladdin all give full marks

  ★I deeply appreciate the author's unique perspective in observing the surrounding environment and society. It's satirical and sharp, yet it doesn't feel uncomfortable; instead, it allows for sincere reflection, which is very impressive.

  ★If everything is digitized and measured, can our inner selves also be measured?

  ★Are picture books only for children? My family and I read this book together, and finding various social phenomena in the illustrations was a very interesting experience.

  ★Reading this book with my child, the first time I focused on appreciating the adorable expressions of the cats. The second time, we discussed what "measurements" were in the book, which led to a deeper conversation between my child and me.

  ★This book presents social and human rights issues in a witty and lighthearted way, allowing us to read and discuss it with our children. It's highly recommended as a read for social studies or human rights lessons.
