Description:
<p><b>Key Selling Points</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Combining a bedtime story with a folktale set in ancient Korea, this is a story within a story that is ultimately about the importance of working together to achieve a common goal. </li>
<li>The author is Korean and was prompted to write this story when she realized that many of the stories she was told as a child through oral storytelling would be lost to her daughter and to a generation of young Korean Canadians/Americans who no longer read or speak Korean. <br>
</li>
<li>The illustration process for this book was laborious and included the use of sketching and painting techniques to create three-dimensional dioramas that were then photographed.</li>
<li>The author was recognized by the Korean Canadian Heritage Awards Committee in 2017 for her dedication to promoting Korean culture in Canada.</li>
