Blankie, the Grandma Ant, and the Dosol Friends lead ordinary, peaceful lives. They love to greet friends, share a cup of tea, and enjoy strawberry jam made more delicious by stirring it clockwise. Their lives are simple and happy, with no serious incidents or conflicts. Blankie can be a little forgetful because her memory fails her sometimes, but the Dosol Friends are always by her side. There is no discrimination here, or prejudice, or evil, or enemies. And yet, life never gets boring, because life is not about having constant drama, but about a series of uneventful, peaceful days. This book’s main message is that we must find our own happiness within those lives.
