Writer Kwon Jung-Min

Korean Authors Writer Kwon Jung-Min “Picturing” an Ordinary Scene with a Fresh Perspective 2024.01.02 Unlike novels, which use words to create a picture in the reader’s mind, picture books allow the reader to imagine the story using only “pictures.” If you are a reader who needs a break from reading and watching in the midst of flashy digital visual media, a picture book can be a shelter.
