Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"This is a great tale that teaches a good moral and gives insight to Korean culture." --Multicultural Fairy Tales blog
"An original folk tale set in Korea tells the story of a selfless young maiden who is sacrificed to the monster in the neighboring village. […] The core of the story (a girl sacrifices herself to aid her ailing father) is both strong from a plot point and a significant theme in Korean tales…" --Kirkus Reviews
"I…almost every page has a contextual note explaining something cultural, historical, or just downright tongue-in-cheek; and the multi-culti angle gets celebrated with a strikingly detailed, full spread--the royal couple is indeed flanked by "people from many lands," many colors, many cultures and backgrounds. Hope springs eternal for world peace." --Book Dragon blog
