Book Information & Summary
Written by Moon Yu Woon and Illustrated by Seo Jae Seon
The award winner in the 3rd Sakyejul Children’s Literature Award
The door to the world where we can be anything and go anywhere opens!
A time traveler with the tail of cloud, a witch talking to her teeth, a werewolf who wants to become a lumberjack, a person with supernatural powers who swallows despair, and a child inside the game who always waits for a friend……These characters make readers even more curious with their simple introductions. They come to talk to readers beyond genres. This book is a unique fantasy fairy tale collection satisfying children who dream of a new world all the time.
When we read five diverse stories regardless of genres, including SF, fantasy, and adventure, we begin asking ourselves. If I were a time traveler, when and where would I visit? If I could hear quiet voices inside my mouth and voices of an ant crawling on the ground, which one could I hear the louder? If I met a werewolf wanting to become a lumberjack, what kinds of conversation would I have? If I entered into the game where I should be friends with someone, what memories could I make?
These questions don’t have to be imagined in ordinary life or even are useless from the adult’s point of view. However, children can easily answer these strange questions, because they have the ability to imagine things that don’t exist anywhere in the world, or to dream of something they won’t become. This book will be an interesting key for children trapped in the time and space created by adults to open the door to the world of free imagination by themselves.
