The story of us, You and I, who become clearly visible among countless dots

Turn over the first page of the picture book. You see green grass, trees, blue river, and nothing else. But look closer, and you will notice an insect. You didn't see it just a while ago. Where did it come from? Look closer, and now, you will notice letters. The claws of a giant earwig look like the letter ‘C’, and the caterpillar that wiggles out of an egg looks like the letter 'D'. The letter ‘N’ seems to be rustling in the tail of a butterfly flying between flowering trees. The letter ‘Y’ is clearly visible in bright orange on the back of the Northern Silk Stink Bug, as if it is shielding the insect. Alphabet letters from A to Z are hiding in the insects you will find in the book, Bugs ABC. Have fun trying to find the letters hidden in the insects, and you will learn a lot about the diversity of our ecosystem and how it is connected to our lives. The book is all the more interesting because you never know how the stories of these insects will move your heart in the end. Just like special stories are hidden in the routines of our daily lives that always seem the same.
