On the night of December 31, two children are seen whispering underneath the bed covers. They are siblings Raon and Gaon. Having read a folk custom about sleeping on the last night of the lunar year, they enter into a bet to see who will manage to fight off sleep till the end. The kids struggle to stay awake so their eyebrows won't turn white by morning. Then they're greeted by an unexpected guest. It's the Jade Rabbit! Jade Rabbit, who has come with a large sack, proposes that he will be the judge of the bet, and the children agree. Will the siblings manage to stay awake all night and protect their eyebrows from turning white?

(Russian) Родился и вырос в Буэнос-Айресе. Приехав в Корею, рисовал иллюстрации для детских книг, выполняю разную деятельность помимо написания книг. Я счастливее всего, когда представляю, рисую и пишу мир книжек с картинками. Героями книжки могут стать кролики, птицы, медведи, волки, крокодилы, змеи и белки. Иногда меняются горы и реки, а также деревья. Времена года:весна, лето, осень и зима тоже сменяются. Интересно, когда всё меняется в мире книжек с картинками.
