Many people questioned why this style of painting and pictures appeared in children’s picture books.

Judging from the actual situation, the picture book introduction said that it belongs to the original picture book series of Oriental Dolls, and the content mainly introduces where did Khan come from? What’s up with sweating? Why do people sweat? It is a scientific picture book for children to understand their own body. The painting author Zhang Xun is a painter who works as a teacher at the Nanjing University of the Arts.

In an article “Zhang Xun: My Sweaty Sweat Book”, Zhang Xun once said that the concept of “picture book” was once pushed to the highest position in his world, with structure, details, foreshadowing, bright lines, dark lines, metaphors, etc. The term is often talked about by his friends.

“So I’m very cautious about “Sweat!” It seems that I want to infuse all the skills and concepts I’ve learned before, and more importantly, I’m full of expectations for the future interaction between the baby and it.”

After reading it, many netizens said that children’s books should be more rigorous! Do you teach kids like this?
