小魯文化事業股份有限公司

Established in 1986, Hsiao Lu is a publisher dedicated to introducing the work of innovative and international authors and artists to children. Our name “Hsiao Lu” is derived from a paragraph in the famous Chinese classic Mencius, “When Confucius climbed the eastern hill, Lu (State) was small to him. When he climbed Mount Tai, the world was small to him.” Like the mountains Confucius climbed, we want to be the small hill that helps children broaden their horizon and get the bigger picture of the world.

Mouth and Hand: Mouth goes hunting, and Hand wants to grow vegetables

嘴巴和手:嘴巴去打獵.手想要種菜

#African folktales #fable #kindhearted #witty #wash-off technique
This story is derived from African folktales. Hand had a strange dog, and Mouth had a mysterious ax. They borrowed the things from each other for hunting and growing vegetables, but both lost the dog and the ax. On their way to the Monster Village, what decisions should they make to find the lost ones successfully?
The author used a unique “wash-off” technique in painting and designed a double cover. The story of Mouth starts from the front and continues Hand’s from the back. In the middle, there hid an extended page. Through the complicated and amazing processes, the author reinterpreted this witty fable story into an astonishing picture book.
