[New Release] 'Bukkeureomjaengi Chingudeul'

◆Shy Friends = Maurice, the small and cute seaweed octopus, is very shy. On his first day of school, he hides behind his mother. He dodges his friends and just waits for the time to go home. Children often feel emotions like Maurice’s when facing new environments such as daycare or kindergarten. Accepting oneself as is and becoming confident is not easy even for adults. The author empathizes with these feelings and introduces a similar friend, Lucy, to explore new changes. The book delicately expresses friendship and emotions, emphasizing the importance of empathy and understanding for one another.
