Each work addresses themes such as the climate crisis, nature and life, and the coexistence of humans and animals.

Exhibition tours will be led by local residents who have completed the "Picture Book Docent Training Program."

In addition, to allow visitors to experience picture books up close, there will be ongoing seasonal hands-on programs such as fan coloring, as well as workshops with artist Song Mincheol.

After the traveling exhibition at the eight libraries, Gyeonggi-do will host an exhibition of original picture book illustrations by renowned domestic and international artists at the Gyeonggi Provincial Library.
