Book Information & Summary
Written by Yoo Eunsil / Illustrated by Seol Eunyoung
Sakyejul’s Smiling Elephant series is made especially for children from ages six to seven who are moving on from picture books to books with more vocabulary. The books are not too long and can hold the attention of children who are moving on from pictures to words. Its rhythmic language, and the familiar every day experiences the elephant portrays through words and illustrations have earned the series a popular reputation in Korea.
Yoo’s work Everything Is Fine with Lee Yoojung was selected for the 2010 IBBY honor list and her book Flags of All Nations Boy was awarded the 28th Korean children’s literature award. It goes without saying that Yoo’s work represents some of the best children’s literature in Korea. Yoo emp the literary device of irony well even while approaching children and the world with a warm heart.
Young children seem to categorize the world into what is edible and what is not as they are particularly obsessed with food. (Think of infants who try to eat anything new they encounter.) Yoo’s new book is a series of short stories titled “It’s Difficult to Always Eat What I Want to Eat,” “A Delicious School Lunch,” and “Herbal Medicine.” All of these stories tell the story of the main character Jungah’s keen appetite.
Jungah eats balanced meals, but her older brother only eats what he wants to eat. The mother gives delicious treats to only Jungah’s brother in order to have him eat better meals. To win treats, Jungah tries to be a picky eater like her brother but finds the task difficult. She ends up bursting into tears. Jungah also becomes envious of her brother’s herbal medicine. Jungah’s mother is understanding of Jungah’s voracious appetite and instead of reproach extends wit and understanding. The writer’s warm appreciation for children will bring delight to young readers.
