How many times in life people put thoughts on you from their own perspective and persuade you to be the person they hope you to be? The picture book presents a poetic fairytale but also is closely related to Yuqiao’s real-life experience. The story presents a girl tries to find who she is, and she starts to doubt herself when various outside voices invade her mind. She has gradually been overwhelmed by the burden of all the voices and finally she decides to leave all the outside voices alone and follow her inner voice to be the person she really wants to be, which is herself, a girl who has a passion to grow flowers. Just as bible’s saying ‘I am that I am’.
