“Life is an endless conversation between a foolish adult who thinks he knows everything and a wise child who thinks he knows nothing.” (Page 71, the path of learning and enlightening 『A robot that has become a flower』)
That we are all alive thanks to the people we love, that people and love are all born very small, but grow more and more. (Page 109, 『Life』 drawn by me and filled by loved ones)
“This too shall pass. it's okay It will work out. Where there is a will there is a way. We always have hope. All you have to do is do your best and wait for Heaven’s will.” (Page 163, the word of encouragement I most want to hear 『I speak like a river』)
A fan of picture books, who started out because of his love for picture books, changed one person's life. Now I am trying to change the world with picture books with people who love picture books.

Publisher's review
Essay on the 4th picture book by picture book fanatic Lee Lu-ri
The fourth picture book essay by Lee Lu-ri, who has been constantly talking about picture books, such as 『Picture Book Trip with Dad 1, 2』 and 『Picture Books That Make Me Happiness』. Author Lee Lu-ri has been constantly writing about the moments of laughter and emotion she met while walking in the world of picture books, and has met readers through various media. In the meantime, I collected about 50 picture book reviews published in current affairs weekly magazine 『Sisain』, webzine 『Redian』, magazine 『Another Me』, kt Kids Land, etc., and put them in one book. "Funny or frowning" is the fourth picture book essay that contains the original intention of the author Lee Lu-ri, who wants to spread the happiness of picture books.
A book that I am grateful for with a friendly voice that reads even the hidden meaning deeply
Talk about life and the world through picture books. We meet picture books and pause for a moment to take a deep, new look at daily life, life, and the world that just flowed by. The frustration and confusion caused by the sudden COVID-19, and the changed daily life made the time to stop for a while in the picture book even more precious. Author Lee Lu-ri stopped for a moment at certain moments and various aspects of life, moments of love and happiness, consideration and respect contained in picture books. And with a warm gaze and hope, he talks about the life and world he dreams of. 『Funny or frowning』 comforts and supports all those who have been hurt, despaired, and difficult due to the corona pandemic. In addition, it is a book that I am grateful for the friendly voice that reads the hidden meaning of the picture book deeply.
A book that tells you exactly what picture book art is!
In this book, the 50 picture books introduced by Lee Lu-ri are beautiful works of art. The essence of art is freedom and sincerity, not technology, says Lee Lu-ri, so writers freely create picture books and readers are told to freely enjoy picture books with all their heart. We encourage you to enjoy picture book art together and fill your life more beautifully with the power of art in the process. "Funny or frowning" conveys the fun and excitement of a picture book, while at the same time reminding us how art makes our lives beautiful and changes the world. This is a book that tells you exactly what a picture book is.
