Hello, where are you going?
This is a picture book of Mo Yejin, whose singular and characteristic talent has been acknowledged since she was nominated for the Selected Illustrators at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair successively in 2015 and 2016. This book delivers the story of Myomyo, the owner of ‘Where Do You Want to Go?,’ a store that sells bus tickets with which travelers can go anywhere. But Myomyo, who greets numbers of travelers every day, hasn’t taken the road yet, not knowing where to go. What is travel for Myomyo? Why people set out on a journey hither and thither? The prose of the book is simple and its bold and jolly color composition leaves the viewers refreshed. On its last page is lying the bus ticket for wherever. The bus ticket is blank in terms of the date and destination. Anyone can grab it to take the journey. Now, begin your own travel.
