Mother's Name
May usher in Mother's Day, and for this month, we've designed cookies and a picture book that celebrates the essence of motherhood. Through the lens of this story, set amidst the grandeur of mountains and the tranquility of forests, readers can explore the diverse facets of mothers. They are more than just mothers; they are ordinary individuals, capable of both laughter and tears, tenderness and strength. Mothers are also daughters, wives, and once, they were children. Ann wonders if, one day, she too will embrace the role of a mother and what kind of mother she might become.

One day, I had a dream of climbing a mountain named "Mother."
Here, I felt at ease, I listened to the birds waking up, I felt the cool sunlight through the gaps in the green leaves, I was embraced by the vast land.
At noon, as the heat became unbearable, I grew anxious, I went to the river to dip my feet in the water.
.
The fire grew larger, thick smoke billowed up, The scorching heat made me sweat.
Luckily, the bear, badger, and squirrel came to help extinguish the fire.
After the big fire, the wooden house turned into ashes. It was a calm morning. The wind gave me a slight headache as it blew, leaves struck my left cheek. Perhaps I was getting a cold, my eye sockets and nose were wet.
.
If only I were a large sponge.
Will I also become a mother one day?
