It’s a story of a boy who seeks the meaning of ‘pretty,’
the word his classmate Kim Kyunghee murmured.
It’s a story of a boy who seeks the meaning of ‘pretty,’
the word his classmate Kim Kyunghee murmured. This
story begins with reflecting on one’s image positively.
And it shows the process where a boy experiences a
delicate change of emotions and empathizes with others
while seeking the meaning of the word ‘pretty.’ The child
tries to find the prettiness within himself, through others’
judgements, or from the surroundings, such as the
sunset. Through the lovely and heartfelt pictures, this
picture book shows the sophisticated emotions
appearing in a glimpse among the ordinary daily life in
the classroom.
