We will teach you how to love and express
“If I as a grandma, who forgets how to pick up my spoon, has a meaningless smile, I may be achieving something great on my own.”

The writer, Sim Yun Kyung, who has been beloved by many readers for her work, ‘My Beautiful Garden’, and ‘Seol-Yi’, has finally published her first essay. She said that the model of good adults in her novels are all ‘grandmas’. This book is filled with what the main character, grandma, realized while raising her children and how she loved them. Her wise parenting approach filled the small soul with quiet love, which the small soul couldn’t even notice. This would be a good guide for most parents these days, who failed trying hard to give their children too many things.
Not as a novel writer, but as an ordinary person, the writer, Sim Yun Kyung, is equipped with her unique wit and humor. She provides her own stories in an honest and vivid way. She showed the love realized while taking care of children, the depression she has felt as a middle-aged woman and a novelist, and finally shared the story of family and friends. By doing so, she provides readers with the opportunity to get closer to the writer herself. Furthermore, she also reminds us of our own grandmas in our hearts, and teach how to love ourselves as our grandmas used to love us.
