南君
Nan-Jun (南君) is born in Changzhi, Pingtung and was inspired by the exquisite illustrations in picture books during his elementary school years, which shaped his future aspirations. He enjoys starting his creative process with a cup of black coffee to awaken his soul, then retreats to his own small studio, where he picks up his paintbrush and begins to dream on paper. Committed to hand- drawing, he cherishes the way watercolor dances on paper—sometimes unpredictably— embracing the beauty and uniqueness of “original” artwork.

A delicate story about the process of steering away from trauma, of healing, and of a journey exploring what it means to stand up on our own and find our place again.
Forgetful is an elephant that comes from faraway, one that completely forgets about his past. Ever since his arrival, he has been behaving strangely, saying strange things, but around him, his elephant friends keep reminding him: “Perhaps it’s better that you’ve forgotten everything.” But then, Forgetful’s dreams and body don’t seem to have forgotten anything. He is haunted by nightmares,
and traces of his past seem to carve wounds inside of him. What happened to Forgetful, during all this time? What can his elephant friends do to show support and accompany him?
With deft drawings rich in colors, Elephant Forgetful is a warm story about coming out of trauma, the process of healing, and what it means to gain support on the long journey toward cure. The story is a
reminder for us to learn the importance of companies and care, so as to remember who we truly are all over again.
In Good Night Giraffe, a gentle and extraordinary giraffe towers above the city—so tall that he can whisper “good night” to children from the rooftops. Sleeping by day and awakening at midnight, he begins his quiet journeys in the dark, moving softly through the world to comfort those who need him most.
From anxious children on the eve of life-changing journeys, to creatures of the ocean harmed by pollution, to lonely beings longing for reassurance, the Good Night Giraffe appears when they have just fallen asleep. With his kind words and calm presence, he promises them that they are not alone.
The giraffe’s nocturnal travels expand beyond the city—into the sea, the mountains, and even war-torn landscapes. Poetic and compassionate, Good Night Giraffe is a bedtime picture book that speaks to children and adults alike, offering comfort in an uncertain world. This story gently touches on themes of environmental destruction, war, and displacement. As readers, we learn that even though we cannot solve all problems and injustices, bringing a full presence and openness to the possibility of connection still matters.
