DESCRIPTION

Stories of Magic, Mischief & Wisdom in English and Korean
Experience the wisdom and humour of Korean folklore in this vibrant new collection of ten traditional stories.
Ten traditional folktales vibrantly retold for today's families, by award-winning author and illustrator Julie Kim.

Experience the wisdom and humor of Korean folklore in this bilingual collection of ten traditional stories. Julie Kim's expressive watercolor paintings burst with magic, warmth and cultural detail, while her retellings are lightly updated to appeal to modern kids. An engaging and interactive picture book, you can also listen along to each story in English and Korean through free online audio recordings.

Included in the collection are:

  • The Singing Lump: An old man is rewarded for his wit by a band of music-loving dokkebi ogres
  • The Weeping Princess and the Beggar Boy: An independent princess sees past surface appearances to find happiness
  • The Little Contrarian Frog: A mischievous frog and his mother get into trouble by trying to predict what the other will do
  • And seven other favorite tales

Memorable characters like a tree that comes to life to repay the kindness of an old farmer convey gentle lessons about the importance of generosity, honesty and independent thinking. Families and educators will want to share this beautiful bilingual collection with heritage language learners and young readers of any background.
