《去哪儿找梦想》不止是一本送给孩子们的绘本，更是为了缓解当代儿童和青年梦想缺失的焦虑。在中国，老师和家长经常问孩子他们的梦想是什么。可缺乏生活经历的孩子们很难找到一个确切的答案，甚至不了解他们所谓的梦想中的职业是什么样子。我在作品中以童真的视角重新定义了梦想是什么，希望告诉正在迷茫的大孩子和小孩子们：梦想不一定是宏伟且遥不可及的，没有梦想也不要害怕，我们可以一边向前走一边寻找，梦想就在前行的道路上。
在作品中我用到了油画棒、马克笔、丙烯、水彩、彩铅、色粉等多种材料，并用电子绘画进行修改调整。我用不同的画材丰富画面质感，并把创作变成了一场轻松有趣的游戏。

Dream Catcher is not only a picture book for children. Moreover, it intends to relieve the anxiety caused by the lack of dreams for contemporary children and youth. In China, teachers and parents often ask children what their dreams are. However, for children who lack life experience have a hard time finding exact answers, or even knowing what their dream jobs look like. In my work, I redefine what a dream is from the perspective of innocence, hoping to tell adults and children who are confused. A dream is not necessarily grand and out of reach, even if there is no such a dream, they should not be afraid, since they can walk forward while looking for it, the dream must be somewhere on the road ahead. In the work of mine, I use oil painting stick, marker, acrylic, watercolor, colored lead, toner, and other painting materials, and modify and adjust the work with electronic drawings. I use different painting materials to enrich the texture of the pictures in the book, turning the whole creation into a relaxing and interesting game.

1.To every lost child.
In the first lesson of the animals' primary school, the teacher asks them to find their dreams.
2. All animals go on the road with great vigour. Some go to the fields. Some go to the river, and some go to the library. The little pig crouches in the grass, looking for a dream.
3. What is a dream on earth? Little pig cannot find it. Confused, she looked at the sky. As a result, there is no dream there, either! Let's try again next time, the little pig says to herself and rides her bike back home happily.
4. The next day, in class, all the little animals are scrambling to talk about their dreams. The monkey says gently, "I want to be a teacher. I hope every little animal can grow up happily." I want to be a model!" says the giraffe confidently. "I want to be the
swimming champion!" says the crocodile, who cannot swim yet."I want to be a scientist!" says the lion, laughing loudly. Only the little pig hesitates in speaking and feels helpless and ashamed.
5. After school, the little pig sets foot on the road to find her dream again. She gets into wheat fields, walks over mansions, climbs high mountains, crosses lion's territories, passes rivers, and goes round dark forests.
6.But the dream has not yet appeared. At night, the stuffed piggy can't sleep for the first time. She says to herself, "Dream, my dream, please come by quickly, or I can't do anything."The little pig gets sad and drops tear finally. Suddenly, she hears a beautiful
song. She looks out of the window to find out that some birds are singing and flying freely. Suddenly, the little pig has an idea.
7. The next morning, the little pig goes to school with her "dream."
She wants to learn to sing with birds and be a singer! She sings as she walks, chirping, tweeting, and grunting. The flowers on the sides of the road are in full bloom. Many little bees are gathering honey among the flowers. The little pig comes out with a new idea: I have a
new dream! I want to use nectar to make a lot of desserts!
8. Since then, the little pig has had all kinds of "dreams". She learns from the elephant to draw with her nose and learn boxing from the kangaroo!
9. She wants to learn from the cat to become the king of stretching, the giant panda about makeup, and the koala to climb trees!
To encourage the peacock who does not like his feathers, the little pig also takes the humble little black rabbit and ballet fan fat
rhinoceros together, wearing the peacock dress, learning to dance from the peacock!
10. The little pig is no longer afraid of not finding her dream anymore and is not confused about her future. She opens her heart to the fascinating world, which is full of possibilities.

Even if there is no dream for us, we should not be afraid. We
need to walk forward while looking for dreams that must be
somewhere on the road ahead.
