Kim Jungeun
Kim Jungeun started writing when she became a mom. Raising two kids, she began to read books as she realized that she was too immature to be a mom. She believes becoming a good mom is as important as becoming a respectable person. She recalled that a handwritten letter in the lunch box her mother had written was the most precious gift to her. So she started writing to her eldest child, creating his own world as he reached puberty and her second child becoming an elementary school student with a free spirit. She has been going through true life-changing experiences since she began writing. She is the author of When a Family Reads Books Together and Mom’s Writing.
