"All by myself! I can do it on my own." Follow Eunji and Jihoon through their spirited day, from the moment they wake up until they fall asleep! The Talmud says, "If you love your child, don't give them a fish—teach them how to fish." This reminds us how important it is to help children build the life skills to do things for themselves. What about parents today? Do we sometimes think that small everyday tasks like washing, eating, and tidying up are simple enough for us to just handle ourselves? We might even think our child's time is better spent on "more creative" activities. But children's creativity truly blossoms when they take an active, curious interest in what's happening around them and lead their own daily lives. The habits and attitudes children develop early on shape not just their schoolwork and relationships, but their whole lives. "All by Myself: A Children's Encyclopedia of Everyday Life" closely follows a day in the lives of Eunji and Jihoon, two siblings who do everything themselves, weaving in essential everyday knowledge through detailed storytelling and vivid illustrations. This makes it easy for children who are still learning the ropes to follow along and try things for themselves. From morning until bedtime, Eunji and Jihoon handle everything on their own—helping set the breakfast table, washing up, getting dressed, and even pitching in with laundry and cleaning alongside their family. Readers will see themselves in Eunji and Jihoon's day and come away feeling that they, too, can do it. Open the book with your child and try out activities together—using chopsticks, tying shoelaces, changing batteries in toys—starting with whatever feels most exciting. It's okay to fail sometimes. What matters most is your child's willingness to try it themselves. "Is it a picture book or an encyclopedia?" A clever life-skills picture book packed with fun stories and thorough information! Waking up early, washing up, cleaning, and tidying can honestly feel like a chore sometimes—which is why quiet daily battles between parents and kids happen in every household. "Wake up earlier," "hold your chopsticks properly," "put things back where they belong"—parents nag all day long, only to find everything back to square one the next day. So what's the answer? Simply demanding that children "do this" or "must do that" can plant the negative idea that good habits equal discomfort and hassle. What matters is gently showing children that good habits actually make daily life easier and more pleasant, while also strengthening relationships with family and friends. "All by Myself: A Children's Encyclopedia of Everyday Life" brings to life 24 essential habits for building good daily routines, told through a fun and vivid story following a day in the life of elementary school siblings Eunji and Jihoon. As you turn the pages, their lively day feels just like a page out of your own child's everyday life. They stumble and make plenty of clumsy mistakes along the way, but Eunji and Jihoon grow a little more each day by taking care of things themselves. They fold laundry together and burst out laughing over a hole in a sock, turn cleaning a messy room into a piggyback-ride contest, and settle who goes first at bath time with rock-paper-scissors—turning tedious chores into playful fun all day long. Each episode also offers kid-friendly explanations of essential everyday knowledge, practical tips, and things to watch out for, presented warmly and thoroughly through both words and pictures. Instead of nagging, give your child the gift of "All by Myself: A Children's Encyclopedia of Everyday Life"—and cheer them on as they take on new challenges!
