About the Picture Book

This picture book is created with the concept of a "vaccination." It hopes to use the story of the protagonist, Bunny, to gradually lead children to understand what death is: that death means "not being able to see," "going to a faraway place," and "never seeing the other person again." The departed, like the character Bear, are not physically present, but "they are by your side every time you think of them." Children can remember the departed by "doing things that would make them happy," such as collecting interesting stories like Bunny does, and positively "look forward to meeting again."
