“Thank you for welcoming me.”
For boys who know and dream of having a good life

There is a boy whom nobody reads a book to. There is another boy who knows how hard it is to make a living by himself so well. There is another boy who classifies blue as the number nine and yellow-green as the number ten. These boys don’t want to leave trails that they used to live ‘here’ and their Korean teacher should be deleted from their life even if he did his best to them…….
This book includes a growing-up story of these boys and their teacher in the place called ‘juvenile facility’ while reading books together, learning what ‘welcoming’ really is, and taming one another with genuine heart for the past one year. The writer, Seo Hyun Sook, experienced her stereotype and prejudice were broken by actually facing with specific life stories of these boys through book reading. While looking at boys who still have good souls inside, readers will also deeply consider what our society and adults have to do for these boys who came back to our society as members after doing their punishment time.
