Book Information & Summary
Written and illustrated by Nam Dong Yun
This book contains three fantastic adventures in front of children after something appears in their daily life. This time, small and trivial things appear in front of the 4th grade children who belong to the class 1 and have freely shared their worries and wishes so far.
When they listen to their stories, a new world has open and fantastic adventures began.
The story of things once being owned, but easily forgotten
A piggy bank bought out of curiosity but neglected at the corner of a room, a doll once valued so much by its owner but lost and forgotten, and an umbrella treated badly since it was easy to get…… This book offered the special and unique faces and names as well as a unique story as a present to the things that were easily abandoned or forgotten.
There are diverse characters in this book from a ‘piggy bank’ crying out ‘good idea!’, a ‘swallow’ boasting her rap skills, to a cute ‘bear-elizabeth’ who is the number one boss in the underground world. The main characters with special presence, for sure, as well as even small characters who can be easily missed without paying a careful attention have all their stories and own looks. It is so much fun to carefully observe each one of characters.
Readers will be able to feel love and affection from the writer in this unexpected story line as well as the lines provoking laugh in almost every pages. The number of dolls thrown away every year, which ‘bear-elizabeth’ said in anger, was the actual number of ‘abandoned dogs’ every year in Korea. In the episode of ‘Borami in a strange doll world’, the writer’s problematic recognition on abandoned pets is revealed. Moreover, a bee who lost her baby is crying at the corner of the scene when Soo Jeong finds a way to the swallow’s home. Also, there is a poster against ‘abandoned pets’ and a sign saying ‘Let’s find home for swallows’ in the writer’s office in the epilogue.
The writer never teaches children instructive lessons. Instead, he just wants readers to find out his affection on small and trivial things in the entire book. It may be his belief he has earned from thousands of children while drawing caricature for almost a decade. That belief is that children are the ones who discover small and weak creatures and pay attention to them for the first time.
