Many grew up reading her creations, such as "Zi Er, Tu Tu." From "Animal Hospital No. 39," "A Gentle, Kind, and Wealthy Lady and Her Hundred Dogs," "Talking Badly About Cats," "Calling My Cat," to her 2023 release "A Dog's Will," her works have touched the hearts of all animal lovers. Through picture books, newspaper columns, school visits, and the design of cultural and creative products, she uses the power of her art to teach children to love animals. This journey led her to realize that the fundamental key to improving the plight of stray animals lies in "people." Thus, the Tailless Banana Animal School was born! | About the Tailless Banana Animal School | Located in Pier-2 Art Center, Kaohsiung, the Tailless Banana Animal School is Taiwan's first friendly base that combines creative expression with animal knowledge promotion.
