A shrew child firm and round like a shelled chestnut appears by opening a page and makes a declaration. “No. Really, no way.” The 12 zodiac animals such as the 
rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, and pig feel the same. How hurtful were those words that were spit out nonchalantly from 
long ago, assumptions made on appearances, and evaluations disguised as compliments? The proverb, ‘the day when the sun shines on the rat hole’ means the 
day when the rat’s home is demolished, and the proverb, ‘the monkey also falls from the tree’ really means that it does as it feel and jumps off, and it is not a fall. The 
strong back of the ox that even rain cannot overcome; the grump face of the rabbit that is pulled out of a magician’s hat by the ears; the happy breaths of the horse 
that runs as it wills while enjoying the wind... The different things to see and think about on each page will capture the eyes of readers and make them pause their 
hands. “No way!” that resonates in different tones is not unreasonable obstinacy, but a self-positivity that is just starting to grow. The presences of the small hearts 
that are trying to find balance between outside and inside are moving and clear like the moment when a seed starts to sprout.
