What does it mean to be old or young? Children might seem young to adults, but to a 150-year old sea turtle even the oldest humans seem young. And when you think about the mountains, the ocean, the planet, and the universe, then you add a whole new dimension to the idea of old and young. With Higo Wu’s poetic text and Pei-Hsiu CHEN’s inspired illustrations, Still Young, Still New encourages the reader to rediscover the world with fresh eyes. It captures the joy of being alive and learning through experience, as well as the importance of staying curious about the world no matter how old you are. 

Higo WU (writer) is a picture book critic, translator, and writer. He also runs a popular podcast about picture books. Many of his works have been recommended by the Taipei Public Library’s Award-Winning Children’s Books campaign, including his picture book The Flowering Buddha which won the 2018 Children’s Book of the Year.
