Overview

A mackerel placed on a dinner table tells us his wide and deep life stories.

Book Intro

I Am a Mackerel

 

This is a picture book that started with a simple question: “Where did the mackerel come from?” Mackerel, a blue-backed fish, is the synonym of healthy food that we often find on the dining table but is generally not favored by children. However, if children hear the story that the mackerel tells, they may change their mind.

The mackerel in this book talks about the sea that he embraced before he was placed on the dining table. The mackerel says he comes from a sea that is too wide to express its breadth no matter how long we stretch our arms. He also says that he tried to become a mackerel with strong bones by climbing hills and mountains under the sea. It’s just like we climb mountains to become a person with strong bones. The mackerel also contains the soft, warm energy of the sea. When plankton eat seaweed grown with sunlight under the shallow sea, tiny fish eat the plankton, and the mackerel eat the tiny fish. In such a way, the energy of the sun spreads through all these creatures, and thereby all the creatures in the sea have the sun’s energy in them.

The mackerel carries in his mind all his memories: being born as a little egg; embracing the warm clouds reflected on the sea and the energy of the sun while swimming in the wild sea; climbing up and down steep hills; and wisely defeating fish larger than him. The author encourages us to contemplate all the creatures around us through this story of the mackerel.

About the Author

Lee Juhee



(English) Stories are marvelous. On a particularly hard day, a sad and gloomy day, a depressing day when I don’t know my own mind, or a boring day, I read a book. Then I get immersed in the story and all my worries disappear. These stories have been long lasting. I wrote Trouble Bookstore to introduce old stories to my readers.

  I wrote and illustrated Trouble Restaurant, Where Did the Shadow Go?, What Do You See?, What Shall I Do?! Kitty, It’s Alright, It’s Our First Time, A Record of Stopping from Being Clingy, Come On, This Is Your First Time in a Library, Right?, and I Don’t Want to Be Your Friend!, and illustrated I Can’t Stop My Class, My Brother, Philip, and I Am a Caterpillar, No. 7 in Class 2 of the Third Grade.

 

(Indonesian) Penulis merasa terpukau dengan makanan. Ketika ia bosan atau lapar, ketika tubuhnya sakit atau dia merasa kelelahan pun, kalau makan dia akan merasa bertenaga. Setiap hari ia membuat buku bergambar sambil manyantap makanan sepuasnya. Buku karya bergambar yang ia tulis antara lain, "Apa yang terlihat?" "akhirnya si pembuntu* mandiri" (pengekor ini untuk padanan bahasa slang Korea KKumttakji yang artinya orang yang suka mengikuti kemana pun kamu pergi) , Untuk buku bergambar yang ia gambar antara lain, "saya beri solusi masalah yang dikhawatirkan PBB", "Kentut ayah", "adikku Philip", "ulat absen no 7 kelas 3-2".

 

(Japanese) 食べ物はとても不思議です。お腹が空いた時やつまらない時、病気や心が疲れた時も美味しい食べ物を食べると力が出ます。毎日一生懸命食べながら3冊目の絵本を作りました。書いて描いた本で『何が見える?』『ガム甲羅独立期』、絵を描いた本では『お父さんのおなら』『僕の弟フィリップ』『私は3年2組7番幼虫』などがあります。
