The value of the story of You Too Are a Wheel Lily is still being recognized. This shows that children’s concerns are not different from those of that time. However, the author thought that for new readers to read in the 21st century, the content should be thoroughly reviewed and revised to fit the sense of the times. With the author’s meticulous efforts, this book is a complete revision that reflects the changes in the times since the first edition was published, in a way that does not harm the unique domain of the work.

Book Intro Jangsaengpo Port, also known as the hometown of whales, is a symbolic place deeply connected to whales. Not only do historical records mention whales, but in the 1970s, the majority of the residents had jobs related to whales, such as whaling or running whale restaurants. This connection seemed to weaken once whaling was banned to protect the endangered species. However, citizens of Jangsaengpo are now making efforts to restore their culture and highlight their long relationship with whales, starting with whale museums and whale cultural districts. The Flying Whale is a story about the sea at Jangsaengpo and the whales. The childhood memories and stories about the hometown-something that we all have-are blended nicely with the main character’s inner growth. Sujin comes to understand what her dad had in mind when he constructed the whale streetlamps and lights along the streets of Jangsaengpo, from which readers may learn about how children empathize with their dads and achieve inner growth by themselves. Moreover, the delicate illustrations of children running or walking on the beach invite readers into the world of innocence. It’s a story that strives for all people to build a dream streetlamp in their hearts and turn the light on brightly. See more details How can the sky be hardened? 1.

Book Intro The birds were getting injured one by one in the forest because of the “hardened sky.” The “hardened sky,” which is a menace to the birds, was actually a glass house people built in the woods. Because it is transparent the birds cannot see it and therefore they keep colliding against it, wounding themselves. The birds all gather to discuss a way to fight against the “hardened sky.” Will the birds be able to freely fly again in the sky like before? The reason why the birds keep getting injured It was actually a “glass house” that the birds of the forest believed to be the hardened sky. People built a “glass house” and named it a “Forest Café.” In order to build the grand “Forest Café” people barge into the forest, cut down trees, dig up the ground, and then start construction work. It’s the birds that have to suffer damage because of their selfishness. This book is special in that the environmental problem is seen from the birds’ point of view. Readers will empathize with the fear and the sense of crisis the birds are experiencing, as well as come to a grasp from the birds’ position the problem of what the animals are subject to as a result of environmental destruction—and thereby be presented with the opportunity to reflect on crucial environmental issues. The gratifying revenge of the birds against the “hardened sky” The birds make a resolute vow not to remain powerless victims in the face of the “hardened sky.” Therefore, they all gather to find a way to vanquish it. A single bird is too small and fragile a creature to confront the enormous “glass house.” But when all the birds of the forest come together, then they have incredible power. In the disappointing moments, when things do not go their way, they do not despair, thanks to their neighbor and fellow birds and continue fighting against their plight. What could be the ingenious and cheerful method that the birds come up with to fight against the “hardened sky”? The story of birds told in zany writing and with sophisticated illustrations Many birds that you can see in the forest appear in this book. It’s not only the birds with powerful character but also the blue sky, green bushes, and trees, as well as flowers in their unique and brilliant colors that will captivate the reader’s attention. Readers will get great enjoyment out of the wel-lwritten story and beautiful pictures of this book. See more details Blue Sky, Red Earth 1.

Book Intro This book explains the essence of the era of climate change from the perspective of a layman. Among scientists, climate change is undeniable, and the reason for climate change is global warming.

We’ve caused humanity to enter the geological age of the Anthropocene. This book presents scientific data, explains how climate change occurred, and asks the following: Can we continue to live on a planet where climate change is a part of daily life? What must we do to adjust to the new era? See more details Umori Sky Shoes 1. Publication Details Title \| Umori Sky Shoes Author \| Song Kyungah Publisher \| Alma Publication Date \| 2020-04-30 ISBN \| 9791159922978 No. of pages \| 148 Dimensions \| 114 * 189 2. Book Intro In the isolated mountain village of Umori lives the Mistress from Deuran, a mysterious woman who founded the secluded and secretive hamlet during the Japanese occupation. Each inhabitant of the village had been rescued by the Mistress as they ran from their unspeakable past lives. All of the land in the village belongs to the Mistress but she collects no tithe—on the surface, a perfect little community. Then one year, on a night when the rain falls hard as if the sky had split open, something crashes near the village and sets off a strange chain of events. The village teacher is found drowned, and odd lights floating around the mountain. The Mistress looks up at the alien sky and makes a decision, only letting the little girl Mari, the narrator of the novel, know her past and what is at stake. What would happen if you took Lovecraft’s interstellar terror and combined it with earthly terror? This novel repurposes two different traditions to come up with a new narrative where early 20th-century Korea mixes with alien horror. In the midst of it all is the Mistress, who turns out to be an “agriculturally inclined vampire” who cultivates humans like humans cultivate the land. While she is technically a bloodsucking leader, she never sucks enough blood to kill, and only uses the power from the blood to protect the community. In this exceptional community, power relations are thrown aside to collectively deal with the invasion of outsiders. A story of two different horror subgenres, but in the end, what really makes it work are these scenes of trust and humanity in the face of crisis. See more details Sky Garden 1.

Publication Details Title \| Fly in the Sky Author \| Kim Namjung Publisher \| Little Mountain Publishing Co. Publication Date \| 2007-12-10 ISBN \| 9788989646396 No. of pages \| 196 Dimensions \| 152 * 223 2. Book Intro The main characters in this book are vulnerable families and their children living in small rural cities or on the outside of cities. These children are not wealthy like their friends, and they’re envious of those friends as a result. They know it won’t be easy for them to have that kind of lifestyle in the future. This may be frustrating for them, but they still do not complain to their parents; they simply go down their own respective paths. The main character Hyunjin in Liar is overwhelmed with a desire to get a concert ticket to a popular boy group. She buys very expensive clothes with her dad’s credit card without telling him, and everything goes out of control. The main character Jina in Bad Daughter doesn’t like everything that her parents do to save money and feels ashamed of them. She blames herself for feeling that way, and that leaves readers with a bitter taste in their mouths. This book features eight short stories that showcase the real lives of families attempting to survive in this world, where people are pushed to succeed and spend money. These stories also show these families occasionally manage to find a little happiness in their lives. Children who cannot escape from pop culture and spending, one-way love toward a tutor, a boy who dreams about riding a motorcycle away from his suffocating house, a child who turns into a thief after his bicycle was stolen, and vivid scars from the Gwangju democratization movement despite it occurring in 1980 are well described in this book, and some readers may even get chills while reading.

Book Intro “Looking for a scientist who can donate their talent by giving a free lecture” A project run by scientists to give dreams and hopes to young people Teenagers in big cities often have the opportunity to see scientists at public lectures, but in rural areas, scientists are people from another world like K-pop boy band BTS. October Sky started when Professor Jeong Jae-seung, who felt sorry for these children, posted a social networking message to recruit scientists to give free lectures. This event, held at libraries nationwide on the last Saturday of October every year, was launched in 2010, when about 50 scientists spoke before 3,000 youths, and in the second event in 2011, about 90 scientists met 5,000 young people and shared ideas with them about science. With October Sky, the entire process from planning to preparation, lecture and execution is made solely by donor scientists sharing their talents. Through October Sky, the lecturers can look back on their own young minds on the day they entered the path of science, talent donors can find joy in sharing their talents with others, while young people can feel the wonders of nature and science and nurture their dreams of becoming scientists. This book will be a record of tomorrow’s scientists who will be created through this process. Lectures by scientists and people talking about science This book contains some interesting lectures presented at October Sky events while at the same time conveying the vividness of the scene where scientific knowledge is shared and curiosity is sparked. The speakers are not only scientists; entrepreneurs such as Kim Taek-jin and Yoon Song-Yee participated in the exciting introduction of baseball and brain science, and novelist Kim Takhwan told science stories to help the audience imagine the future. In addition, various lecturers such as doctors, teachers, science reporters, and television program directors tell scientific stories on a range of interesting topics. From ancient natural philosophy to robotics, from brain science to evolutionary theory and biology, this book provides a broad spectrum of thought so that the reader can freely navigate the world of science, crossing time, space and boundaries. The dreams and hopes of the youths who have experienced science through this book will be higher and greater than the high blue sky of October. See more details Open the Sky and the Earth.
