"Carrot Beard" Author: [France] Jules Renard Publisher: Jiangsu Literature and Art Publishing House

Introduction

A little boy named "Carrot Beard" has red hair and freckles on his face. His family never gave him any warmth. There was only teasing from his mother, indifference from his father, bullying from his brother, and ridicule from his sister. In order to gain attention and recognition, Carrot Beard did a lot of stupid things, which were funny and sad. As he grew up, he gradually realized that only independence could restore his self-esteem, and he should have hope and face growth bravely under any circumstances.

A child who longs for love but cannot get it, stories that make people laugh and cry at the same time. If reading fairy tales can make people kind, then when you are unhappy or even feel that the whole world is abandoning you, look at the carrot whiskers and remember not to hate, because you still have yourself.
