Twinkle Twinkle
This picture book was planned to give all children a gift of sparkling beauty around us. It incorporates the traditional Korean material, 'Najeon(mother-of-pearl),’ into a unique painting style, providing Korean beauty. The emotions about natural materials merge with the hand gestures to give children a sense of rhythm in nature. This indirect experience gives children a gift of 'intimacy with nature.’
