Launch of picture book "The Cloud-sucking Demon" by 12-year-old author

The picture book The Cloud-sucking Demon by Nguyen Thuan Nhien – a 12-year-old girl from Lam Dong – has just been released, jointly published by Slowbooks and Hanoi Publishing House.

Starting to write stories at the age of 10, after 2 years, Thuan Nhien's first work officially reached readers. With a rich imagination, the young author created a magical world revolving around the "cloud-sucking demon" character named U Am - a giant, strange but also emotional creature.

The picture book "The Cloud-sucking Demon" was written by Nguyen Thuan Nhien when she was 10 years old.

Through witty and metaphorical stories, Thuan Nhien leads readers to explore the inner world of children, where imaginary friends not only bring joy but also convey lessons about friendship, sharing and unlimited imagination.

The work is illustrated by artist Khanh Linh, contributing to recreating the mysterious land of Da Lat - the source of inspiration for the author's creations. The drawings vividly depict the natural scenery and creatures in the story, enhancing the visual experience for young readers.

Little girl Nguyen Thuan Nhien, now 12 years old, is studying and living in Da Lat ( Lam Dong).

The 21st century is the century of vision, until now, there are very few children's books that are printed purely as stories without illustrations. This is also an affirmation of the book making trend for all publishing and distribution units: The relationship between stories and pictures is inseparable in children's books.
