New animal poems from legendary Hong Kong author Xi Xi

Description
Most of Xi Xi's animal poems featured here are new works written during the past few years. Full of whimsical ideas, they embody the notion of "all humans are siblings, and all things are companions," brimming with warmth and compassion.
These poems could be described as bright and cheerful, approachable, clever and fluid, humorous, and deep with meaning, written as though the author is able to directly communicate with animals. Overall, they serve as a voice for animals, showing that they are able to coexist equally and peacefully, resulting in a carnival of animals.
More than twenty young Hong Kong artists and illustrators have been invited to join this project, with each poem accompanied by different illustrations. Their styles of illustration are totally distinct and not limited to any particular form, presenting multiple heterogeneities.
This book is suitable for young readers, as well as adults who appreciate literature and art.
