Written by Kim Ki Jung and illustrated by Jang Keoung hwe

The author created such a beautiful fairly tale story based on the poem, ‘Evening when a hummingbird moth comes’ by Baek-Suk, whom the author kept in his mind for a long time. This book is a fantastic story, which a young Goma, the main character, visiting his grandmother, who already passed away, experiences while meeting several kinds of grasshoppers, like hummingbird moth. By showing a mysterious encounter of Goma and grasshoppers in the forest in the unique, pure and delicate style, the author presents us the love and affection towards already-dead grandmother, and also the value of even a tiny creature. Plus, the illustrations by Jang, Kyung-Hye, who has specialty in showing affluent imagination just like she touches the work with warm care, are also added and they make readers admire this work. This is a very special story, and not only children but also the grown-ups would be captivated by its charm.
