(English) Mumu's Moon Swing
The moon is the closest of the satellites around us, and as such, has been the focus of human imagination and adventure throughout history. Its energy, life, and soft, glimmering light have been sources of limitless imagination and inspiration for humanity. MuMu's Moon Swing is an illustrated fable based on the moon motif. As evident in the cover illustration, the characters in this book all eventually travel to the moon. Everyone that is, except Mumu. Because the last place the travelers visit before making their trip to the moon is Mumu's shoeshine workshop. As Mumu shines his customers' shoes, he listens to their stories. Through the stories of the travelers who yearn to go to the moon, and the story of Mumu who loves the moon without needint to set foot on it, Ko Jeong-Soon allows us to reflect on our own lives.
