About the Author / Illustrator Since graduating from Seoul National University, with a major in painting, Soo-yeon Kim has held numerous individual and group exhibits at the Seoul Arts Center (1993) and the Insa Art Center (2002). Her books include Artist of Yellow, Van Gogh* (Sigong Art), Artist of Mystery, René Magritte (Sigong Art), The Dinosaur and the Ant (Sigong Jr.), and Kids with Loud Footsteps (Yolimwon), and she has also authored art textbooks for elementary, middle and high school curriculums. Kim currently operates ‘Kids with Loud Footsteps’ (www.willbeart.com). The program for [Kids with Loud Footsteps] started out with 4 students in Mapo, in 1997, and soon became wildly popular through word of mouth. Kim’s unique art education program invites children into an open and stimulating world of creative and individual expression. Since it began, the program has been recognized as an innovative form of education, being selected for the public children’s art program of the Korea Arts & Culture Education Service (currently Arts Council Korea) in 2002. The program now operates in Mapo, Daehakro, Banpo, Bundang, Chungdam, Jamsil, Mokdong and Joonggye. 5. About the Book Effective children’s education proven by 17 years on the steady seller list. The revised 2nd edition of the 17-year steady seller, [The Kid with Loud Footsteps is Creative] was first published in 1998. The book introduces various educational programs and real cases to help kids express their creativity in an uninhibited way. The author’s program was so popular that it was selected as the children’s art program of the Korea Arts & Culture Education Service in 2002, and was also introduced on EBS’s “60-Minute Parents”. This revised edition maintains all the important points of the first edition and features added content regarding traits of creative children and tips for teachers. In the appendix, the reader will see stories about extraordinarily creative children, better teachers and outrageous works of art. In a world where parents’ misguided educational passion may actually suppress their child’s creativity, this book will serve as a sensible guide for art education. Based on her experience, Kim emphasizes that the more a child has to learn, the more passive he will be. When parents see an exceptional student, they usually like to copy and use the exact same studying methods for their own child. However, no two children are the same, and a child’s good grades do not always indicate well-rounded growth. “Life after school is too long and important for grades to be an indicator for everything.” Creativity as emphasized in this book is not limited to the subject of art. It is creativity that empowers a child to find solutions for various problems that she will face throughout the course of her life. The author suggests an effective way for such true education through her carefully developed educational program, and cases of children who freely create art work. *The Bare Face of Father’s Childcare* 1.Publication Details Imprint \| Antteul Title \| The Bare Face of Father’s Childcare Subtitle \| The Story of a Man Who Approves His Own Parental Leave Author \| Ka Wookhyeon Format \| 145200 Binding \| Softcover Pages \| 260pages ISBN \| 979-11-9578-910-8 2.

About the Book Grandpa Had a Dad, Too? It’s a busy morning at Grandpa’s house. Grandma and Mom are cooking in the kitchen, and Grandpa is polishing a picture frame holding a black and white photograph. Everyone is bustling to get ready for the day Great Grandpa comes. Who is Great Grandpa, you ask? It’s Grandpa’s dad. Min-ho is amazed that Grandpa once had a dad, too. Dalbong, the puppy, starts barking at the persimmon tree in the yard. Min-ho chases Dalbong to the tree. Beneath it is a great big glass bead. Min-ho quickly picks up the glass bead. Then he sees a strange new boy sitting on a branch, looking down at him. Shh, the boy says, a finger to his lips. The boy jumps down from the tree, and runs to the backyard. Min-ho follows him, and the boy demands that Min-ho give him the glass bead. He says it belongs to him. Min-ho, however, doesn’t want to give up the glass bead. He hides it behind his back, saying it’s his since he found it at his grandpa’s home. Then the strange boy takes a big step toward Min-ho. A Special Day with Great Grandpa on His Memorial Day In Korea, people hold memorial service for their ancestors, preparing food for the souls of those who have passed away. The ancestors are invited to partake of the food during this special ceremony, which had its beginning in rich imagination. The Day Great Grandpa Came takes such imagination a step further and creates a real-life story. On the day of his Great Grandpa’s memorial service, Min-ho, a seven-year old boy, comes to encounter the soul of his great-grandfather in the form of Jon-oh, a boy his age. Min-ho, of course, is not aware that Jon-oh is his great-grandfather. Jon-oh is old-fashioned in his speech and behavior, having lived more than a hundred years ago, but becomes fast friends with Min-ho, a modern-day boy. At first the two squabble over who should keep the great big glass bead that Min-ho has found, but they soon hit it off and make their way together to Jon-oh’s treasure house. Together, they play with Jon-oh’s old toys and have a swimming competition in a water hole. When it grows dark, they share some memorial service food in the backyard, away from the eyes of Min-ho’s mother. From morning to evening, Min-ho and Jon-oh are happy spending a special day together.

About the Book The book is about roads, and it begins by asking if roads in Korea have changed since one or two thousand years ago. Namhanggang-gil, Gwanghwa-gil, Hangang, and Uiju-gil were trade routes for the common people for ages, and by taking readers on a journey along these river ways, seaways, and roads, the book introduces the changes that took place on these routes as well as the history behind them, including the changes that took place during the time of the Japanese occupation and the Hangang Development Project. Readers can also learn the original names of places and how these names became forgotten or lost. To explain the water ways, the book takes readers on an imaginary journey, sometimes passing through water as calm as a lake but sometimes through rolling rapids. The journey has readers imagine inland ports and rapids that disappeared when Paldang Dam and Ipobo were built and also when the government implemented the Hangang Development Project during the 1980s. The journey includes a stop at Songpa-naru and Sambat-naru, where Seokchon Lake is now located. Readers learn that boats carrying grains to be paid as taxes stopped near Yongsan while other boats stopped at Samgae, which is now Mapo. With boats that carried salt, seafood, and salted seafood stopping at Samgae, it was the busiest inland port in the country. How were sea boats different from river boats? And what was the difference between traveling on the river and on the sea? To answer these questions, the book takes readers to Ganghwa Island, where the sea meets the river. It tells stories about ferrymen who risked their lives passing through Sondolmok, about Gapguji-naru, where boats docked sideways, and about the invasion of Qing, when Ganghwa Island was captured. The journey continues to Meomeori Island, below the demilitarized zone, to Odojat, where the Hangang River meets the Imjin River, and to Yanghwa-naru, where Catholic believers were beheaded during the French campaign against Korea in 1866.In the old days, every stream, regardless of its size or length, had its own name. For example, the name Hangang was used only for Hangang-naru, while the other streams that flowed into the Hangang River had their own name: Mokgye, Makheureugi, Heunbawi, Baegae, and Chirgmi to name a few. These were the names used by people for more than a thousand years, but during the Japanese occupation, they were turned into Chinese characters, with their original names now forgotten and lost. The book instructs readers about the way people traveled on foot long ago. They traveled with guide books called Jeongri-pyo or Dori-pyo, and the map inside the guide books illustrated seven main roads that connected different regions to Seoul along with two other branch roads. According to Jeongri-pyo, as well as Dori-pyo, the road that envoys used to travel to and from China was Uiju-gil, and therefore it was considered the most important road. But because the country is now divided, Uiju-gil now ends below Panmunjeom. As we travel south, readers stop at important historical places. The book quotes and cites from The History of Goryeo, The Annals from King Injo, and The Annals from King Seonjo to inform readers about the places of major battles, the differences between foundation stones from different dynasties, Buddha statues from the Goryeo Dynasty, government-operated inns, and Korean gardens. The book ends at Donuimun, one of the eight gates to Seoul, where Uiju-gil ends.
