Description

Winner of the 11th Biryongso Literary Award

Author Hwang Seon-ae

2022 Biryongso Literary Award Winner
A very special adventure in which a story-loving duck realizes the ‘power of words’

“Are you certain about that?”
A masterpiece about the problems of recklessly moving unconfirmed words or other people’s words! The writer’s wit and wit shines brightly. -From the review (Kang Jeong-yeon, Kim Ri-ri, Kim Ji-eun)

Hwang Seon-ae, who won the 11th Biryongso Literary Award, has published 『Duck Beak Story』.
The Biryongso Literary Award has selected fresh and unique works every year for the lower grades who are starting to read books on their own.
Every time award-winning works such as 『Midnight Moonlight Restaurant』, 『A Draw Machine Without Loss』, and 『In a Pencil Case at Deep Night』 are published, they quickly become bestsellers and invigorate domestic lower grade literature.
『Duck Beak Story』 is a fable about the problems of conveying the wrong words. It is a work that captured the hearts of the judges with the excellent writing skills and the wit and wit of the writer who skillfully leads the story.

Each story of ‘rumor’ and ‘truth’ intertwines and intertwines with each other, from a wild mouse who is falsely accused, a cook who is damaged by a bizarre rumor, a hunter who is branded a coward, and finally a ladybug who knows all the truth. It is piled up one by one to think about the ‘power of words’.
In a reality where unconfirmed words spread easily through the Internet and it is not easy to filter out ‘real news’ and ‘fake news’, this cute and lovely fable is expected to resonate with children’s readers.

[summary]
Duck mad for stories
A duck, who is willing to spread even false rumors here and there, loses its beak while being chased by a hunter.
He tells the story more excitedly by going around the neighborhood with only his beak.
In the meantime, an incident occurs in which a picture of a rabbit is torn in a village in the forest, but the duck misunderstands a field mouse as the culprit and spreads rumors here and there…

    This book is funny and easy to read. The duck learns important lessons about words that stick with you. Glad I picked it up for my kid.

  3. Lucie Delecluse from Bordeaux, France

    Quelle aventure! Ce livre m’a emporté, chaque page vibrante de la puissance des mots. Le canard et son voyage résonnent profondément dans notre époque!

  4. Thabo Mkhize from Durban, South Africa

    Hwang Seon-ae’s ‘Duck Beak Story’ profoundly illustrates how unfiltered words can mar relationships, making young readers reconsider their spoken truths. A whimsical yet enlightening read.

  5. Sofia Almeida-Ramos from Lisbon, Portugal

    At first glance, I approached ‘Duck Beak Story’ with skepticism; how captivating could a tale narrated by a duck really be? But as the narrative unfolded in vivid colors and layers of nuance, it became impossible to dismiss its charm. Hwang Seon-ae crafts an enchanting exploration of storytelling that dives into the very heart of human expression—the interplay between truth and deception embodied by our feathered protagonist. The quacks resonate like thoughtful whispers revealing universal truths about language’s impact on community and individual identity. An exceptional reflection rooted not just in whimsy but in wisdom deserves every accolade earned.

  6. Janelle Tremblay from Quebec City, Canada

    Okay, so picture this: a duck with a penchant for stories? Like, who even knew that would be entertaining! Hwang Seon-ae really nailed it with ‘Duck Beak Story’. It’s not just another kids’ book; it dives deep into the chaos that happens when words fly unchecked. The humor in there has me chuckling like I’m hearing my cheeky uncle at dinner again. This lil’ quacker teaches some solid life lessons about being mindful of what we say—total gem for early readers to get their giggles and learn something too!
