Book Information & Summary
Written and Illustrated by Sim Bo Young
A journey to hot steamed town and freezing town
Steams emitting everywhere and sweats flowing on the face…… Everyone is hot and hot! Here in the hot steamed town, Mr. Dumpling lives. He enjoys hot himself but he covers himself not to transfer hot steam to other people. He is very respectful person. Today, he heads toward freezing town carrying a lot of pickled radish and soy sauce juice. Freezing town is a totally different place from hot steamed town from the temperature to scenery. Mr. Dumpling’s grandma lives in this freezing town. While we watch them sitting together and talking out what the grandma had done, the scene is so warm and friendly even if they are in freezing town. However, he hears something strange from somewhere right after he leaves his grandma’s house. Those are frozen pieces of rice cake. Mr. Dumpling meets them in a cold, dark alley. The real journey to freezing town now begins with those soft rice cake friends after melting thanks to Mr. Dumpling.
Mr. Dumpling is strong not just in hot steamed town but also in freezing town. If we have to have a difference, he cannot freely emit his steam in hot steamed town, but here in freezing town, he can share his steam with others as much as he wants. Thanks to his steam, all in freezing town can enjoy these warm changes. They all get along altogether and we will also feel warm while seeing them happy together.
Space containing ordinary life, characters, and humor
The main character is Mr. Dumpling but other characters as important as main characters are all over in this book. Frozen dumpling grandma and long stick meow rice cake. Red-bean rice cake brothers and sisters, three musketeers of half-moon rick cake. Mysterious black plastic bags and God of snow, and finally a snowman.
The writer has made food in our life into interesting characters and also made common area we hang out into the main background of this picture book. The writer’s humor provokes laughter while we see some pieces of rice cake frozen in the fridge since the ancient times, mysterious black plastic bags nobody remembers what’s inside them, and a cooking steamer which might be replaced by air fryer nowadays. In the country with distinctive seasonal difference between summer and winter, we can enjoy this book making us feel hot and cold at the same time, and also making us feel chilly in minds but warm in hearts.
