I folded a crane the way my grandma once taught me. In her hometown, something very sad happened long ago, and ever since people tend to fold this crane to wish for peace. So I did the same, hoping that anyone going through hard times now can find even a little bit of strength.

We moved to a city forest due to Mom’s job. I met many birds and animals here, but… it’s not quite like the forest we used to live in.

Sometimes, I feel a little lonely. One day, while I was looking up at the sky, thinking about home and friends, a gentle butterfly fluttered over and said, “Don’t worry. You’ll feel better soon.”

Finally sunny☀️after many cloudy days. From afar, I heared a “tap, tap” sound—it’s the woodpecker lady pecking at a tree. Even in winter, she is working energetically. I’ll do my best too!

Hi Iʼm Bear.🐻 Nice to meet you! They say Iʼm one of the biggest and scary ones in the forest, but actually very calm. I wake up slowly in the morning, draw and walk during the day, and sleep soundly at night.

The forest is sooo quiet, and Iʼm the first to step into the fresh white world of snow! 

A new year has begun. In the quiet forest, everyone holds their breath, quietly watching the sunrise. My wish is that everyone in the forest will live in harmony, stay healthy, and have enough to eat!
