Testimonials
Jinkyung Kim (Children's Writer)
The ability of the writer to create a touching story by introducing fantasy so that children can approach it easily and funly with the difficult material and subject of human life based on memory is amazing.
Riri Kim (Children's story writer)
Mysterious and charming characters and sweet food. The atmosphere is exotic and fantastic, but the emotion contained is extremely Korean and the subject matter is heavy. The author put the material that does not seem to go well with the heavy theme into the work with concise and neat sentences as if stitched stitch by stitch. The last message that you have to face and overcome bad memories, not just forget them, also resonates deeply for a long time.
Kim Ji-eun (children's and youth literature critic)
A beautiful story that readers of fairy tales are waiting for. It is a work that makes you think about how far children's fairy tales can contain literary implications. I would be happy if children and adults could talk together about what we can feel through this work.
