I am a person who loves to read picture books, and children's world is the most beautiful and worth protecting. I like the beautiful and warm world in fairy tale picture books.

In this world, there are many people and things, there is kindness, there is evil, there is beauty and there is darkness.

I often tell my child: We must believe in goodness and believe in kindness, even if you encounter some bad people and things, you must persevere in your own kindness and goodness, because your inner true goodness and beauty cannot be snatched away by anyone, nor can it be defiled.

Believe in your inner goodness

There is a constant concept in psychology:Security feelingWe can almost find the corresponding syndrome in any psychological problem of a person in terms of sense of security. More and more people know about sense of security, try to understand sense of security, and even want to obtain a stronger sense of security.

In child psychology and developmental psychology, we emphasize that we must strive to build children's sense of security in children's childhood, and this sense of security will affect their whole life.

I like the picture book 'Bear Ette and Remy Sienna' which is organized by Beijing Yangguang Blog Art and Culture Publishing Limited and published by Guizhou Education Publishing House, and has been selected into '1001 Picture Books to Read Before Growing Up' which is recommended by Julianna Ekxhelidi, a famous picture book writer and publisher in the UK.

Bear Ette and Remy Sienna

'Bear Ette and Remy Sienna' has been translated into 12 languages, including French, English, Italian and Japanese, since its publication in 1981, and has won many international awards, with global sales exceeding 200,000 copies.

I want to express everything in my works.

You don't need to draw everything, just use very simple lines to express all the meaning.

A moving picture book must be created with happiness and for oneself, so that adults, parents, children and authors can establish a great understanding, and everyone can share happiness and be touched.

—This is Gabrielle Vincent's description of her own creation.

It can be seen that the author is extremely motivated internally, her heart is firm and beautiful, and she insists on using her works to speak for herself.

I admire the author so much. When 'Bear Ette and Remy Sienna' achieved great success, Gabrielle almost didn't accept interviews or chase trends. She was indifferent to the success of the book. Even the merchants who wanted to operate peripheral products to make profits, Gabrielle refused. She said: 'If I do this, mothers will be forced to pay for it. I want every child to be like Remy and Ette, cherish every thing in their imaginary world, and let children read while entering the beautiful world of imagination, and enter their own world.'

Gabrielle's persistence is effective. Over the 20 years of continuous creation of 'Bear Ette and Remy Sienna', this big Bear and small Remy have warmed countless families.

Big Bear and small Remy

Let's talk about this first edition briefly:

Ette is a poor bear.

He discovered a mischievous little orphan rat named Remy Sienna while sweeping the street, and he began to protect and raise him.

They lived together in poverty but happily.

The first edition: 'Achieving a Lifelong Sense of Security' has 4 books: 'Simon is Gone', 'The Story of the Photograph', 'Holiday Cabin' and 'Remy's Confusion'.

The theme of each book in this edition is related to love, generosity and imagination.

Let's take 'Holiday Cabin' as an example:

Bear Ette and Remy built their holiday cabin in 8 days, but when they wanted to enjoy the fruits of their labor, they found that 'Unexpected Guest' had invaded their cabin, and Ette trembled while reading the message left by the 'Unexpected Guest'.

Remy was initially scared and then angry, wanting to drive the 'Unexpected Guest' away and reclaim his holiday cabin.

But Ette stopped him, and Ette told him: 'A homeless person found a home. Thank you, children.'

Although it was their own labor, it was also a good thing to help a homeless person.

Ette started to deliver things to the 'homeless person' every day, and Remy didn't understand: 'Why don't I drive him away and give him things every day?', he still wanted to give things to him.

One day, Bear Ette and Remy accidentally met the person who was sleeping in their bedding on the street, and they realized it was him!

Remy greeted him, but Ette was gone.

Big Bear and small Remy

Remy and Ette talked to each other and said hello.

Remy started to go with Ette every day to deliver things to the 'homeless person', and Remy turned this into a game, watching the 'homeless person' live in their cabin, feeling like he and Ette lived in it.

Remy became more and more happy, and in the process of helping the 'homeless person', he felt more and more happy.

But when he and Ette specially made a stool to deliver things to the 'homeless person', they accidentally discovered that he had left!

Big Bear and small Remy

The holiday cabin was tidied up neatly and decorated with flowers, and the person who had been living in their cabin had found a job and invited them to visit his garden, and the flowers were given as a thank you for their care.

What a wonderful story!

Big Bear and small Remy

Two people who depend on each other and make their happiness their happiness, warm others with their warmth, and give a 'homeless person' continuous care and companionship, and finally, they not only gained happiness from this process, but also gained the gratitude and recognition of being valued.

Small Remy is like our children, and big Ette is like ourselves. Remy initially didn't drive the 'Unexpected Guest' away and give him things, just like our children will often misunderstand our actions and behaviors, and adults will teach our children things through their actions.

When Remy gradually read the thank you message conveyed by the message and gained self-identity and value in it, Remy also began to feel that it was happy to persevere in helping the 'Unexpected Guest'.

When he recognized 'Unexpected Guest' in the street and spoke to him, it was Remy's further curiosity towards him.

The most beautiful thing about human nature is kindness. Unconditional help to others is a truly beautiful kindness.

Kindness is a virtue.

Children are like blank paper, adults teach what they want to teach, children will learn it, like a sunny day, shining with light and heat, warming those around them.

A child who is nurtured with enough sense of security from childhood will surely stick to their inner goodness and shine with light and heat, warming those around them.

A lifelong sense of security is actually the greatest treasure we can give children in their childhood.

Unconditional companionship, unconditional acceptance and unconditional trust are the best ways to build children's sense of security.

When Bear Ette and Remy were raised by each other, they didn't tell Ette too much, just insisted on doing, insisting on sharing with Remy the thank you and beauty in the message, they warmed each other.
