A Plastic Bag's Adventure is the seventh illustrated book by Noh Inkyung, the author selected for the 2012 Bologna Children's Book Fair Illustrators Annual for Soso the Book Cleaner.
The focus of Noh's new book is disposable plastic bags. A mother and child come home from grocery shopping with a yellow bag. The yellow bag is placed on one side of the utility room along with other bags, but it soon catches the wind and flies off on a journey.
The bag travels all over the world and meets many people. A child playing alone on a horizontal bar; a student who gets hit by the bag and sticks her tongue out; elderly ladies who've gathered to gossip; children playing hide and seek; a dog searching for food in a pile of trash; an exhausted lady on the verge of tears; and a man playing his guitar at a park.
After the bag returns home, it tells stories of its wonderful adventure to its friends.
