Gwangju Seo-gu 'Children's Ecological Fairy Tale Picture Book Production Presentation' Successfully Held

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Seo Dae-seok) announced on the 14th that it successfully concluded the presentation event for the picture books created through the ‘Making Children's Ecological Fairy Tale Picture Books’ program, which was recently held at the Children's Ecological Learning Library for children in the district.

‘Making Children's Ecological Fairy Tale Picture Books’ is a program where children in Seo-gu create picture books themed around the seriousness of environmental pollution and the necessity of ecosystem preservation.

In this program, from April to July, children created their own stories and illustrated them with the help of fairy tale writer Jo Kyung-hee over 18 sessions held every Friday.

The presentation event was held in the multipurpose room of the library with 10 child authors and their families in attendance. The child authors introduced their picture books, and various attractions such as a book exhibition and photo zone featuring picture book characters were prepared.

The children's ecological fairy tale picture books produced this year include a total of 10 titles: ▲ Kim Kyung-chan’s ‘Please Return the Mother Lion!’ ▲ Kim Ji-ho’s ‘Hello, Sea!’ ▲ Kim Han-gyeol’s ‘help, us!’ ▲ Ryu Ji-an’s ‘No! Sea Trash’ ▲ Moon So-won’s ‘Trash Rain from the Sky!’ ▲ Park Si-yeon’s ‘Space Trash War’ ▲ Yang Ji-hoon’s ‘The Forest Where Elves Live’ ▲ Lim Hyung-jin’s ‘Bonga’s Escape’ ▲ Hwang Ye-seong’s ‘Lonely Coco’ ▲ Hwang Ye-jin’s ‘Feeding the Babies Well’.

Child author Kim Kyung-chan completed his first picture book through the program and said, “I hope people read this book while thinking about how the animals feel.”

The books can be found at the Seo-gu public libraries, and Seo-gu plans to recruit participants for the children's ecological fairy tale picture book program again next year.

A library official said, “It is meaningful that picture books drawn by children are released to the world and deliver messages to other children,” adding, “We will continue to plan various programs so that children can take the lead in environmental protection.”
