Translating Moon Pops and the Rise of Universal Korean Picture Books

Storybowl

Korean Publishers   Storybowl A bowl that holds thoughtful, heartwarming stories   2025.12.01   Everyone, at least once in childhood, would have imagined something like this: a drawing on a blank sheet of paper suddenly popping out and speaking to you. Picture book author Baek Hee-Na brings that very imagination into reality - she creates three-dimensional dolls of her characters and places them into her scenes. With her fingertips, she delicately builds the world of her stories, transforming imagination into something tangible. In 2005, she was selected as “Illustrator of the Year” at the Bologna Ragazzi Awards, gaining recognition not only in Korea, but also abroad. In 2020, she became the first Korean recipient of the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, often called the Nobel Prize of children’s literature.
