Julie Kim

A book easily introduces some Korean culture for the classroom. It includes translation on the pages in English. It follows two siblings in the story and a rabbit on a small adventure. This book is nice in the classroom because it can introduce a new language.

Oh, this is a delight! Trickster tales, traditional Korean folklore, wonderful illustrations and a highly imaginative adventure -- I particularly love the Dokkebi (trolls? ish?), but the facial expressions across the board are just hilarious and incredibly appealing.

graphic novel/picture book with some Korean phrases, and Korean folklore

Lovely art, and what a nice way to learn a little Korean through the immersion of a cute fantastical story. It's also got a bit of an introduction to Korean folklore. It's that sort of storytelling I appreciate from the Usagi Yojimbo series. This one's pretty good, too, though the ending felt a little short. Would love to see a bunch from author Kim in a similar manner, or wherever her inspiration leads her.
