◇What is it,Dad?/Written by Guillaume Aldebert,illustrated by Maud Rogiers,translated by Jeongju Lee/48 pages,16,800 won,yellow Pig (0-7 years old)
Children’s eyes are filled with curiosity about everything in the world. Life is not much different from the process of finding the answer to that question. In particular, children will have to go through numerous trials and errors before they can come up with their own definitions while looking into abstract things such as the mind, thoughts, and art. In such cases, how about becoming an adult who broadens the child’s eyes by secretly giving answers like this? For example, when a child asks “What is music?” the answer is “It is sound with scent.”
this book consists of short questions and answers between the child and the father. A father gives a poetic answer to a child who asks about not only music but also emotions, longing, praise, passion, and good times. Longing becomes “a snack you can take out and eat,” praise becomes “an invisible kiss,” poetry becomes “a landing net for catching stars,” and friendship becomes “an island full of treasure.” When asked what life is, Dad said, “It’s a collection of all the stories we shared. But above all, life is you,” he says, reciting the lyrics of a French chanson. I think this book will be a good start to having a more in-depth conversation with your child from a new perspective.
