Hound Dog Hunting Rats
2019, Children’s Book

A pig bought a powerful hound in order to solve the problem of mice at home. But even a powerful hound can’t catch mice like a cat. My inspiration comes from my high school experience. In China, the College Entrance Examination is the best opportunity for most people to change their destinies. Unfortunately, the test-oriented educational system makes the students with talents on music, art and sports have less opportunities to develop. I want to tell the students having been restrained by the current education never feel disappointed although they can’t catch mice. To make the story more interesting, I personified the two animals - pig and dog and made the story take place in our daily life. The high purity and high contrast make the illustrations have a bright visual effect, and the dark mice with small color blocks can produce a pleasant sense of rhythm.
