To promote the issue of migrant workers, the Museum of Labor invites a diagram text writer, Guo Hanchen, a new prominent illustrator, Emily’s Graffiti World, and a field researcher, Dai Wanxuan to create a picture book “A New World of the World” hoping that people at all levels can understand this serious topic of migrant workers gently through reading this picture book.
The Museum of Labor states that to promote the issue of migrant workers, they have tried to invite the public to participate in their activities such as stage dramas, photography exhibitions, film shooting workshops, heart southbound communication, and board games…etc. and expected that the age spectrum of target audiences could expand from 0 to 99. “A New World of the World”, for the first time, tells the story of migrant workers working and living in Taiwan in a way of a picture book. This book which creates a series of sparkling stories starts from the vision of a little boy named “World”, and he meets the angels who are also living in the same place but from a different culture. This picture book is also paired with the translations in languages such as Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, and English to invite everyone to listen to the story of migrant workers leaving away from home.
The Museum of Labor also held the picture book’s presentation which was arranged to be a suitable environment for children to listen to the story a few days ago. It also invites the bald uncle, Huang Yongren, to tell the story for children and take them into this “New world of World”. If you also want to explore “A New World of the World”, please go to the Museum of Labor, the National Library, and Wunan physical and online bookstore.
