Written by Lee Sang-hee / Illustrated by Kwak Young-kwon

This book had its beginnings in a gift dedicated to his parents by Kwak Young-kwon, a leading illustrator, professor, and artist past his middle age. His parents, now in their eighties, had supported him by working as peddlers all their lives. He wanted to express his gratitude by illustrating The Book of the Kindness of Parents with works imbued with the talents which his parents had given him. The hand-crafted picture book, of which only a few were in existence, was placed in the hands of Lee Sang-hee, a writer of children's books and a poet, and was recreated as a book to be shared with children. The text, somewhat old-fashioned and difficult to understand, was transformed into simple yet lyrical words that can easily be read by and resonate with anyone, in order to be shared with children.
