Overview

A picture book that consoles children and all of us, who grow through trial and error.

Book Intro

"The Again and Again Tree bears special fruit. It bears the fruit of disappointment when things do not go as we wish. The fruit has various shapes since the colors and shapes of children's minds are different. Sometimes they are round, and sometimes they are thorny. It is uncomfortable to see the number of fruits increase. Still, the Again and Again Tree grows taller and taller despite our wishes that it would not. A child, who is hopelessly looking at the tree as usual, begins to climb it by stepping on the fruit of the tree. Finally, the child arrives at the top of the tree and sees the open sky!

 

Again and Again Tree is a picture book based on a children's poem written by Yu Hajeong. An Hyorim illustrated the book. Yu's simple poem and An's heartwarming illustrations combine to present a refreshing experience, allowing the reader to re-read the original poem differently.

 

We try so hard to succeed and not to be disappointed, as if our goal in life is never to fail. Our children see and learn our attitudes. We always try to keep our kids from being emotionally and physically hurt. We keep them within safe fences, too. However, strong fences are damaged and broken before we even realize it. Nonetheless, our kids take roots deeply in the ground and bravely find themselves. They are stronger and healthier than their parents think.

 

Perhaps we all have some Again and Again Trees in the corner of our minds. We see the tree grow taller and taller with those frustrating Again and Again fruit of disappointment. Sometimes, they grow so big and spread wide that they even form a wood. The wood is an Again and Again Tree wood that keeps the story of our trial and error, and which bears the hard fruit of our resilience through our disappointments. How about you read this picture book with your child and find your own Again and Again Tree? You may hear comforting messages from the tree, which wishes to console you in times of exhaustion. "
