Winner of 2021 Ragazzi Award in Fiction! Rights sold: simplified Chinese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), world English, Japanese “The pandemic has highlighted that home - whether we have one or not- is the most important place on earth. Lin Lian-En’s much-needed book Home is an exquisitely produced poetic consideration of space. From the rounded corners of the book to the cardboard covers and thoughtful understated use of endpapers, the book makes full use of material elements to create an inviting rich space that can be revisited endlessly… just like home. “ — Jury of Ragazzi Award   The sun goes up.

A Tree Falls in the Forest is the latest work from Lian-En Lin, the winner of the 45th Golden Tripod Award and the 2021 Ragazzi Award in fiction.   What is “evil”? What is "good”? Darkness may exist anywhere in the world. Are we aware of it? Or maybe we just ignore it because the uninvited guests seem to be far away from us? In the past, Lian-En Lin was a person who didn’t care about social trends or issues, and only focused on her creations, just like Mr. Darcy or anyone else around us, living her own “quiet life” in solitude. However, after Lian-En became a mom, she started to change her mind, and began to pay attention to her surroundings and current affairs, hoping to leave a better world for her children to live in in the future.   "I hope that this graphic novel will become a seed that will germinate in the hearts of the readers, so that we can expand this concept to the society, change the idea of “sweeping the snow in front of our own door”, and turn our passion into action, and become a person that benefits oneself as well as others." -- Lin Lian-En   Size: 21 x 25 cm
