The hilarious new picture book from the record-breaking Adam Kay and Henry Paker. Meet Simon. Simon is the hero of this story. But unlike most heroes in most stories, Simon is a piece of snot. He lives with his family in the left nostril of a girl called Phoebe. Follow Simon on his hilarious and extremely slimy adventure as he learns about everything snot does to protect our bodies - a fascinating and uplifting journey of self-discovery about how brilliant and important he really is.

アダム・ケイは、鼻水という存在に魂を吹き込み、科学と文学を鮮やかに融合させました。サイモンの冒険は単なるユーモアに留まらず、身体を守る免疫の神秘を、知的な感動へと昇華させています。不潔さと高潔さが同居する独創的な視点こそが、本作の持つ本質的な魅力です。 物語の核心にあるのは、自身の価値を問う自己発見のテーマです。一見無価値な存在が、実は身体を守る英雄であると気づく過程は、読者に確かな勇気を与えます。生物学的役割を愛すべきアイデンティティへと昇華させる著者の魔法のような筆致を、ぜひ心ゆくまで堪能してください。
