It is easy to hear cheering sound everywhere in autumn. Today is our sports day. Of course, there are Blue team and White team. It is also the day the winner and the loser are decided. Children cry out loud and cheer their own team, and run as fast as they can. However, the moment the sports events are over, all the children put their arms around each other’s shoulders with smile whoever win and lose. The story is about the autumn sports day when children are excited all together.
The book vividly describes shouting and cheering sounds from “Wow! Wow!” to “Go, Blue! Go, White” Someone laughs, “Ha ha”, and another makes “Ewe”. There are all kinds of shouting, like “Yo-ho! Heave-ho!” while playing tug-of-war, and “Run! Run!” while cheering runners in a race. All of these sounds complete this picture book. Therefore, we can feel the vivid moments of the sports day while reading the book. We can realize how amazing the autumn sports day is while trying our best to win the games, and also enjoying the sports day.
Like the story of the main characters of Bomi and Yeoreumi, there are so many stories happening in the sports day. While moving, shouting, playing balls, and splitting a gourd, children begin to discover new things about their friends whether they have been close to each other or not. A friend who looks so shy, but cheers out loud, and another one who looks snobbish but has warm heart, and another one who runs really fast, and another one who is so willing to win, and the other one who makes us laugh… We can meet all of these newly discovered friends in the autumn sports day while reading the book.
