The Song of Memory

This book features a wandering little man named Oowa who decides to settle down in a forest where people can exchange their memories for what they want. Oowa exchanges his best memories for smiles. One day, he finds all his good memories have run out and he also has missed many things that are more important than the smiles that never last for long.

The book is illustrated by a post-80s woman, Jeanie Leung from Hong Kong, and echoes one of the key phrases of 2016: stay true to the original self.
