The Universe Lost a Tooth

Picture books are often colorful, yet this one can only use one color to describe it: blue. The color of each page is like a spoonful of deep sea water. And the story in the book is based on the author's memory about his baby tooth and Halley's Comet that appeared in 1986 when he was seven years old.

This is another book about commitment and family, and also a fantasy about the universe, which will help readers recall their own experiences.

"Those people who like blue can't miss this book. It has very nice pictures and high quality stories, plus a good design. I like those pages about dreams. Guess children will like the book too," user Hongkouyitiaolong commented on Douban.
