◇ Mother-of-pearl cabinet grandmother/Written by Ahn Hyo-rim/48 pages, 17,000 won, Wish Tree
Our house is ruined. I’m moving into a small house, and there’s just one thing loaded on the old moving truck. Mother-of-pearl cabinet. My mom says she can never throw this away because it contains ‘grandmother’s grandmother’s grandmother’s love.’ You can start over anywhere with this mother-of-pearl cabinet.
However, my child does not like this thing that is so large that it takes up an entire room. The father and mother, who are busy working, are always away from home, and the child, who has been lazing around alone, sees various patterns on the mother-of-pearl cabinet. Glowing pine trees, clouds, butterflies, cranes and turtles. But there is no one to play with me. I wish at least my grandmother’s grandmother’s grandmother would come out now… .
At that moment, the grandmother really comes out of the mother-of-pearl cabinet. This is mother-of-pearl grandmother. A grandmother explores the wonderful world inside a mother-of-pearl cabinet with her child, takes the child to a Taekwondo gym, or prepares a delicious meal. The child gradually learns hope from his grandmother. If there is love between family members, no matter how difficult it is, they can overcome it. The bright colors and abundant attractions of mother-of-pearl lacquerware, a traditional craft, add depth to the theme of the book, ‘Family Love.’ A new work by the Bologna Ragazzi Prize-winning author.
