Description

『Moon Sherbet』 is the second creative picture book by Baek Hee-na, the author of 『Cloud Bread』. It depicts a story that came to mind while worrying about the Earth getting warmer one extremely hot summer night, and is translated into cute pictures. The moon hanging in the sky looked so hot in the hot weather, and after thinking about whether the moon would melt if this continued, the author wondered what would happen if the moon really melted? And she said she imagined it.

Everyone was trying to sleep with the windows closed, the air conditioner blazing, and the fans blaring. But suddenly I heard a sound, knock knock… What does this mean? The moon outside the window began to melt. The diligent class president grandmother runs out and catches the melted moon water. Then she puts the moong water in a sherbet mold and puts it in the freezer. oh! Overheated electricity causes a power outage, and the whole world becomes dark. The neighbors in the apartment follow the moonlight leaking from the class leader's grandmother's house and head to her grandmother's house. Her grandmother gives out moon sherbet, and those who eat the moon sherbet do not feel heat at all. But then, the moon outside the door disappears, and someone in trouble comes to visit. What should I do with the missing moon?


Author introduction

Author: Baek Hee-na
Baek Hee-na is an artist known for her unique imagination and three-dimensional illustrations. She became even more famous when she was selected as Illustrator of the Year in the fiction section of the 2005 Bologna International Book Fair, but her work 『Cloud Bread』 has already become a steady seller based on her talent. 『Cloud Bread』 tells the story of a fantasy about clouds that everyone has experienced at least once, reminding her of the fun imagination of her childhood. It stimulates both the memories of adults and the imagination of children by dealing with the commotion that anyone who eats bread made from clouds brought by a cat, using family as the basis, will float away.
Above all, what makes her stand out is the creativity and warmth of her three-dimensional illustrations. Unlike existing paintings, the dolls, which feel like paper, the cloth clothes they wear, and the background, which is all made up of props, attract readers with a friendly and warm feeling. Another of her works, 『Grandpa Red Bean Porridge and the Tiger』, was also depicted through a Korean paper doll, bringing out a new and different feeling in the story we were already familiar with. Baek Hee-na's world view based on her family and affection seeps into her stories and paintings, making those who read her work feel a sense of warmth.
