Book Information & Summary
Written and Illustrated by Lee Gee Eun
“Yamooyamoo? Yummy yummy? Are you trying to eat us now?”
They are all small but powerful! A fighting story of marshmallows
Iparapa Yamooyamoo, all has begun with this simple word. Slow and lazy marshmallows gather together with strong determination. With their strong will to recover the peace of their town after kicking out a big black hairy monster, they are united and organized. They cannot even imagine to be eaten in hot chocolate or be baked by the fire.
The scenes of this picture book are presented in a speedy way. With delicate cut divisions, the writer escalates the level of story in time order to express how characters move. And she also shows humorous results with open space afterward to boast the attractiveness of cute characters. Marshmallows fight three times, and the scenes of the book are all connected throughout three pages, which make readers feel like watching a well-made animation. Will marshmallows enjoy the victory? When all marshmallows look at the big black hairy monster, there is only one marshmallow thinking differently. When they seem to lose in all those three battles, the one decides to cross the woods to figure out what the big black hairy monster tries to talk. Therefore, the meeting scene between a tiny marshmallow and a gigantic hairy monster is impressive, because this is the scene to vividly show the visual ‘difference’ between the two and it is the first turning point for both of them to resolve their misunderstanding at the same time. Who would think of what ‘Iparapa Yamooyamoo’ really means in the first place? After this boisterous happening has ended and their strong determination has become soft, nothing but the peace fills the town. What the big black hairy monster really meant is now sent out to everyone just like a funny word game around the town.
The writer, Yi, Gee-Eun, has warmheartedly described the situation where all those prejudice and misunderstanding happen and finally to be resolved with her own balanced view. Everyone can misunderstand, or can be misunderstood. It happens all the time. However, if there is a moment that we ask ourselves, ‘Isn’t this just misunderstanding?’, that moment could be the first step to understand each other. The writer sends out the fun and the lesson of this story both at the same time through the simple word of ‘Iparapa Yamooyamoo’, which is the key throughout the whole story. It is such a charming word – Iparapa Yamooyamoo.
