Book Information & Summary
written and illustrated by Seo Hyun, Sobogi and Han Sung Min
This book is created by the unique collaboration among three writers. Unlike traditional collaborations that divide the workload or split roles between writing and illustrating, this is the first picture book to try a new way of working together, where every element of every scene is thought out and touched by all three writers. The process of thinking about the meaning of democracy and human rights, choosing words, and constantly bouncing ideas off each other is much like three children playing together in a picture book.
Three children come to the playground. They do not look alike anything from facial expressions to dress style and to the way of walking…… However, they soon settle into their favorite rides and begin to play, each using their own imagination. Sung Min busily prepares for takeoff in a jungle gym that has been transformed into a spaceship. Hyun flies as Superman on a swing, and So Bok lies still on a slide and dreams of windy hills. These three different children quickly become friends, enjoying each other's company, bickering and making up. They also discover new things to play with and work together to build a very cool shelter. As they bask in the satisfaction of their new creation, the aliens arrive! What will happen next? This book is a storybook with words and descriptions that fit each situation as it unfolds. With spunky characters and an interesting story, this picture book will help readers see familiar words in a new way and understand them in a more rounded way.
When you think of words related to democracy and human rights, you might expect to see some difficult words that you've never heard before. However, this book contains 33 words that we already use in our daily lives, such as unique, different, affectionate, continue, sensitive, diverse, and divide, along with a glossary that delicately brings out the meaning behind the words. This is a fun way to convey the temperature of a word, the emotion behind a word, and the possibilities of a word that a dictionary definition alone cannot. You'll find yourself thinking freely within the richness of meaning, and before you know it, you'll have a newfound affinity for democracy.
