book introduction

[1] Willy went to the art museum Written by Anthony Brown / Woongjin Junior

A delightful picture book that parodies and appreciates famous paintings from around the world. Willy, who enjoys looking at famous and wonderful paintings, got to see paintings by excellent painters such as Millet, Da Vinci, and Botticelli. Willy finished the viewing in a good mood. I started drawing along those pictures... Oh my, what is this? The famous 'Mona Lisa's smile' has changed into 'Gorilla's smile'. Drawings that focus children's imagination by creating interesting stories and parodying world famous paintings. It gives more fun than appreciating famous paintings.

[2] Willy and the villain Bulrunko Written by Anthony Brown / Translated by Heo Eun-mi / Woongjin Junior

Willy, who has straight hair, wears a colorful vest, and likes to read books. However, despite his small size, he was not good at any sport, and he even cried when he watched sad movies. Seeing Willy like that, his friends used to make fun of him, saying he wasn't manly. Then one day, Willy knocked out the fearsome villain Bulungko, who was swinging his fist, with one punch.

What kind of kid is Willie? Willy knew how to enjoy what he liked, no matter what anyone said. He wasn't good at sports, but he did his best. He was a child who was not conscious of the gaze of other kids and could shed tears when he was sad. He was a ‘confident child’ who cherished his feelings and knew how to express them honestly. Wouldn’t this kind of Willy be said to be a truly strong man?

This book, Anthony Brown's second Willy series following the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's recommended book "Willy at the Museum," refreshingly satirizes the world's prejudices and useless authority. However, it is a work that is always based on a deep understanding and love for the world and children.

[3] Willie the soccer player Written by Anthony Brown / Translated by Heo Eun-mi / Woongjin Junior

The third part of Anthony Brown's Willie story. Willie, who loves soccer, has never played in a game, let alone wore soccer shoes. Then one day, Willy meets a strange person, and he gets old soccer shoes. As if old soccer shoes had magical powers, Willy's soccer skills improved significantly, and he was selected as a player for an important match. However, on the day of the game, Willie wakes up late and runs to the stadium, forgetting his soccer shoes. Even without his magic boots, Willy plays fantastically and leads his team to victory, becoming a soccer prodigy and a hero.

Willy looks timid and weak, as is his small size. He creates his own taboos and is careful not to break them, such as not stepping on cracks in the sidewalk blocks or having a set order of things he does before going to sleep. The fact that he was unable to kick the ball even once during soccer practice may not have been because other friends did not pass him, but because he was too intimidated to step forward with confidence, it may have been due to his inferiority complex. Anthony Brown delivers a warm and healthy message to the viewer through Willy's 'change'. Actually, I don't think the old soccer shoes are magic soccer shoes. Willie was selected as a player because he practiced with confidence and was happy to have soccer shoes, and he did his best every day to prepare for the game. So, even though he didn't have the 'magic' soccer shoes in an important match, he was able to score a thrilling winning goal with his own skills and become a hero.

In this book, Anthony Brown also shows pictures that make you admire the more you look at them, with a perfect screen composition without any unnecessary elements and various devices hidden in the pictures. There is a clear difference in Willy's expression while playing soccer before and after soccer shoes were created. He went from a shrinking and unconfident face to a confident and relaxed look with a smile on his face. In addition, Willy's state of mind is expressed in more detail through pictures, such as only his name appearing loud and clear on the player list, or the night before the game, Willy's anxious mind being replaced by a picture of the tilted Eiffel Tower hanging by his bedside. It is done. And the soccer ball-shaped streetlight, the soccer ball-shaped moon, and the soccer ball on the alarm clock all clearly show Willy's desire for soccer. The exciting soccer match scenes are full of excitement and add to the fun of watching. The author divides Willy's soccer game into jigsaws for each movement to give a sense of speed, and creates a sense of dynamism by creating an effect like watching a panorama. He will be unable to help but be immersed in it, as if he were actually watching a football match. In addition, comparing how much an unfamiliar person resembles the picture of Willy's father hanging in Willy's house, who does Willy's father resemble, and what the shape of Willy's shadow is in the final scene will also provide minor pleasure. You can preview some of the content in the book.

[4] Willie and Hugh Written by Anthony Brown / Translated by Heo Eun-mi / Woongjin Junior

The fourth of Anthony Brown's Willie stories. Willie is lonely. Everyone becomes friends except him and he doesn't even join in the play. Then one day, Willie, who was walking alone in the park, bumps into Hugh, who was running alone, and falls. This becomes an opportunity and the two quickly become friends. We also go to the park, zoo, and library together. Hugh helps Willie when a villainous bugger tries to harass him, and Willie cleans up the spider for Hugh, who is surprised to see her spider. Although they seem to have no similarity at all, the two become true friends.

Willie and his new friend Hugh. From the looks of it, the two don't seem to get along at all. It is somehow awkward to pair a dwarf chimpanzee with a huge gorilla, or a chimpanzee neatly wearing a colorful vest and a gorilla wearing torn jeans. However, the differences between the two are not a problem at all in sharing their hearts and developing a warm friendship. Apologizing first when you made a mistake, making each other laugh while having fun together at the park, the zoo, and the library, and sincerely helping each other when you were in danger or surprised. That was what it took to become friends with Willy and Hyuga. That was it.

Anthony Brown shows off his unique and ingenious ideas and witty humor in this book as well. It's fun to see the comical expression on Hugh's face when he overpowers Willie, who is bullying Willy with just a few words, and the change in expression of the buckle on his hat. When Willy and Hugh are having fun in the library, gorillas are everywhere in the library. It can also be seen that they are watching them with a harsh gaze. Also, at the zoo that Willy and Hugh went to, the people who are locked in iron bars are people with expressions of fear. By twisting the positions of humans and apes, Anthony Brown provides not only the fun of a novel idea but also an opportunity to think about the perspectives of humans and animals. Huge Hugh, who defeated the villain Bulungko with a single word, becomes so thoughtful that his hair stands on end upon seeing a small spider, which is so unexpected that it makes the viewer laugh. In the final scene, when they become friends and meet again the next day, Hugh is wearing Willy's colorful vest, and Willy is shown wearing jeans for the first time, following Hugh. It is a happy and satisfying expression of friends sharing and becoming like each other through their clothes. In this way, Willy and Hugh are special fun to watch, not only for the warmth and emotion the story gives, but also for the whimsy and humor contained in the pictures.

[6] Dreaming Willie Written by Anthony Brown / Translated by Heo Eun-mi / Woongjin Junior

The fifth story in Anthony Brown's Chimpanzee Willie series! Willy, who enjoys drawing, listening to music, and reading books, enters the wonderful world of 'dreaming' this time. In his dreams, Willy transforms into movie actors and singers such as 'Charlie Chaplin, Elvis Presley, and Ballerino', and also enters and dismantles paintings by 'Gogh, Rousseau, and Dali'. For example, in Surrealist painter Dali's masterpiece 'The Persistence of Memory', all objects, including a pendulous clock, are turned into 'bananas'. 'Banana' appears in other pictures as a banana tail, banana microphone, banana ballet shoes, and banana bed, clearly showing Willy's love for 'bananas'.

Like Anthony Brown, who talks about the meaning and importance of family in many of her works and brought about heart-warming reconciliation and restoration of love, this time, she depicted two brothers who are so cute and lovely that you want to hug them.

Although it is a work with a very simple and concise structure without any elaborate persuasion, it quickly resolves and warmly comforts the children's internal conflicts and the subtle anxiety they feel due to each other's existence as older and younger siblings. Listen to the story of a lovely and cute younger brother and a wonderful older brother.

[10] We are friends Written by Anthony Brown / Woongjin Junior

『We Are Friends』, which deals with the friendship between a gorilla and a cat. A new work by Anthony Brown, the world's best picture book writer and one of the most loved picture book writers by Korean readers, was published in 2008.

There was a special gorilla in a zoo. The gorilla knew how to use hand signs, so he could get whatever he wanted. The gorilla seemed to lack nothing. But the gorilla was sad. He tells the zoo people with hand gestures, 'I need a friend.' The worried zoo people gave the gorilla a small cat called 'Pretty'. The moment the gorilla saw the pretty girl, he fell in love with her.

The author, who has a warm affection for humans, talks about 'friendship' in this book. He says that friendship is true friendship only when you form a relationship with someone and communicate with them. It will provide an opportunity to think about the meaning of 'making the right friends' for children who are just beginning to form relationships with their peers, and the meaning of 'communicating properly' for adults living in modern society.

[11] Do you want it too? Written by Anthony Brown / Translated by Heo Eun-mi / Woongjin Junior

“What do you really want?”

Sam, a silent and quiet child with a hedgehog head, and Jeremy, who boasts about what he has. This picture book shows what is really important to children through the story of two children. In a reality where we open our eyes to material things too quickly and compare and evaluate each other based on those things, we teach children about truly precious values.

There's nothing Jeremy doesn't have. A new bicycle, a new soccer ball, a gorilla mask, and even pirate toys... But Sam has nothing. Still, he silently helps Jeremy whenever he is in trouble. When she encounters pirates in the forest and her Sam saves Jeremy from drowning, Jeremy boasts about going to the zoo again. But Sam has something even better than that. Because Sam has already been to a much cooler zoo than that!

This book is a 1980 work by Anthony Brown, a picture book author who captivates both children and mothers at the same time and is the favorite picture book author of Korean mothers. He won the Andersen Award, the highest honor for a picture book author, in 2000, and is recognized as one of the most outstanding authors worldwide, and is also the most loved author by Korean readers. His early work, 『Do You Want It Too?』 gives you the special pleasure of going back in time and meeting the author. The thematic awareness may seem a bit harsh in its sharpness, but it is much more vivid and clear, and is full of power. It is also a picture book with a variety of ingenious and surreal devices hidden for readers, as well as playful humor.

[12] Me and you Written by Anthony Brown / Translated by Seo Ae-kyung / Woongjin Junior

Anthony Brown's new work in 2010!

There lived three bears in a city: a father bear, a mother bear, and a baby bear. One morning, Mama Bear prepared porridge. But the porridge was too hot to eat. Papa Bear suggested that we take a walk in the park until the porridge cooled down. While taking a walk in the park, Papa Bear talked about his work and Mama Bear talked about her work. The baby bear was playing around. At that time, a girl who had left home with her mother was following the balloon, but lost her way and ended up in Bear's house, whose door was open by chance. The girl who went into the kitchen and saw the porridge on the table ate all of Baby Bear's porridge. Then she went up to the second floor, lay down on Baby Bear's bed, and fell asleep. After taking a walk, the bear family hurries back home. What will happen to the girl?

『Me and You』 is a picture book that depicts the representative old British story 'The Blonde and the Three Bears' from a modern perspective. 'Blonde Hair and the Three Bears' depicts the process of an immature human being discovering her identity, or self, and the bear family's house represents the unknown world that the girl will encounter in her life in the future. In that world, the child is driven by curiosity and tries various things, constantly discovering who he is and what is unique about him. Anthony Brown preserves the theme of the original work and naturally tells the story of the disconnection between individuals in modern society and the lack of communication within the family.

Anthony Brown's early works were many picture books with sharp social consciousness and profound philosophy. So, not only children but also adults could read and empathize with his works. 『Me and You』, released for the first time in two years, is also a picture book that contains the critical consciousness and philosophical thinking about society that can be seen in his early works. Read with your child and share deep thoughts!

[13] Anthony Brown’s Magic Pencil Written by Anthony Brown / Translated by Seo Ae-kyung / Woongjin Junior

Little Bear was walking through the forest. Then, suddenly, a wolf came out drooling. Little Bear drew a picture using a magic pencil and trapped the wolf. The snake drew a sky bean and jumped over it, and when it encountered a lion, it drew meat and chased it away. When he came across a lake, he put on a swimsuit, went swimming, and even cheered up the sad-looking giant. What else will Little Bear do with the magic pencil that turns anything he draws into reality?

『Anthony Brown's Magic Pencil』 is a book written and illustrated by Anthony Brown with illustrations by child authors who participated in a picture book contest held in England. The author's unique imagination and the children's imagination combine to create a beautiful story. It helps children dream that they can draw pictures and turn them into a book, and teaches them the power of imagination.

[14] Tell me how you feel! Written and illustrated by Anthony Brown / Translated by Hong Yeon-mi / Woongjin Junior

An essential question for our children who have difficulty communicating: ‘Tell me how you feel.’
Help your child express their feelings with Anthony Brown's simple yet clear drawing style!During infancy, growth occurs in a variety of areas, to the extent that it can be called the ‘breadth of growth.’ In addition to physical cognitive development, children begin to feel and express various emotions and emotional development becomes active. Not only do they move beyond the simple emotions of 'good' and 'bad' to express diverse and detailed emotions, but as their interactions with peers increase, they begin to become interested in the emotions of others. In this way, they can express their emotions in a healthy way in early childhood. And understanding the emotions of others as well as oneself becomes the foundation of social life in adulthood. Therefore, children need picture books that help them understand and express various emotions and psychology. In 『Tell me how you feel!』, chimpanzees list the various emotions they feel in various situations one by one. Boredom, happiness, sadness, loneliness, anger, guilt, confidence, shame, etc. are all common emotions that children experience in their daily lives. And at the end she asks the chimpanzee reading child, ‘What about you?’ That question will be an important opportunity for the child to look into his or her own emotions. It is also the parent's open attitude to actively understand and accept the child's emotions. Parents must first try to understand and accept their child's feelings by saying, 'Yes, that's why you are like this.' And you need to talk about emotions with your child and help them find healthy expressions of their emotions. Anthony Brown's “Tell Me How You Feel!” will be a good emotional coaching picture book that parents and children can read together.

[15] Gorilla family Written by Anthony Brown / Woongjin Junior

An art book with delicate and warm illustrations that make you feel like you are looking at a living ape.

『Gorilla Family』 is a picture book where Anthony Brown's delicate drawing techniques stand out. The various apes were depicted more delicately and warmly than in actual photos. The lifelike eyes and shiny fur create an atmosphere that makes you feel like you are about to make noise and play pranks. In particular, the sight of apes standing still, looking forward, as if people were drawing portraits or taking ID photos, makes us focus more on each individual. Just as each person is different, even if they are of the same species, each animal has its own individuality. What is expressed further highlights the theme that all beings in the world are equal. A gorilla that looks like a dependable father, a mother orangutan holding her baby warmly, a spider monkey that looks full of fun... … There is no detailed explanation, but each person's personality is expressed just by looking at the pictures.

Although it is a simple text consisting of numbers and ape names, the picture has the power to make you imagine countless stories that go beyond it. It is also impressive that the last part contains his own portrait and images of various people around the world, regardless of age or gender. He expressed in an attractive picture that just as countless people are living in this world, numerous apes and, by extension, countless other living things are living together. 『Gorilla Family』 goes beyond a simple picture book and is an art book in which a picture book author creates beautiful pictures and meaningful messages about the apes he has had interest and affection for throughout his life. This book is a must-have picture book for any Anthony Brown reader.

[16] What should I do? Written by Anthony Brown / Translated by Hong Yeon-mi / Woongjin Junior

Don't worry about what to do. Because something much more fun will happen than you think!

This book, which interestingly unfolds the fear of 'the first time' that everyone has, shows that once you actually experience it, you will get much better results than you feared.Joe, who sets out to visit his friend's house with his mother, learns about what might happen in the future. I'm worried about this. Fears like ‘what if there’s a child I don’t know’, ‘what if there are a ton of people’, ‘what if there are foods I don’t like’, etc. are increasing. The sight of unfamiliar houses that he looked into, thinking they might be his friend's houses, seemed to reflect Joe's feelings and seemed strange and absurd. In the end, I gave up on the party and was about to go home when my friends opened the door and came out to welcome Joe. And unlike Joe's fears, he ends up having a lot more fun.

[17] Pig Book Written by Anthony Brown / Translated by Heo Eun-mi / Woongjin Junior

Anthony Browne's masterpiece that exquisitely combines a serious theme with interesting pictures.
As seen in the cover picture, 『Pig Book』 talks about the problem of housework that women shoulder alone within the home. Rarely in a children's book does it deal with women's and family issues from a feminist perspective. It may seem like a heavy topic to express in a children's book, but author Anthony Brown conveys a serious topic persuasively and easily through lean, humorous writing and carefully calculated, colorful illustrations and screen compositions. In addition, the humor and wit emanating from the text and pictures add even more fun to reading the picture book, making it a truly charming picture book. Recognized as one of the world's most outstanding picture book writers, Anthony Brown enjoys using surrealist techniques in the content and illustrations of his works. His method is to exquisitely express the satire or paradox of realistic issues that he wants to talk about, sometimes heavy and serious, with the ingenious imagination and various enjoyable picture elements that only picture books can show. And this 『Pig Book』 is also an exquisite and outstanding work that fully demonstrates his abilities.

[25] I like books Written and illustrated by Anthony Brown / Translated by Gong Kyung-hee / Woongjin Junior

i really like the book
Just hearing the title ‘I like books’ makes you curious about the story of this chimpanzee friend who is opening a book. This friend's face is full of happiness as he confesses, "I like books," while holding a bunch of books. Rather than questioning the truth, I naturally turn the pages by asking, "So, what kind of books do you like?" There may be many different books in the world, but our chimpanzee friend first talks about funny books and scary books. I read a book of old stories and get immersed in the story, and I also sing a song while reading a children's book. This friend confesses again at the end that thick books are good because they contain many stories, thin books are good as they are thin, books for counting or learning letters are good as they are, and even strange story books are good as he declares at the end. “That’s right, I really like books.” It is said that children are gradually losing interest in books because there are many more interesting things than books. They also say that they have a hard time reading books. 『I Like Books』 once again reminds us of the charm of books. It makes us think of the moment when a book came to us in its original form, the relationships we met through the book, and the various emotional links that came at that moment. I hope that reading 『I Like Books』 will be a time for you and your child to reminisce about books.

[26] Hide and seek Written and illustrated by Anthony Brown / Translated by Gong Kyung-hee / Woongjin Junior

A world of suspenseful play revealed through a simple game of hide and seek.

Hide and seek is a very simple and familiar game to everyone. In other words, it could also be used to mean that it is a material that is truly nothing new. It's a story about hide and seek, which has been covered a lot in every picture book, so some people might have mixed feelings of worry and anticipation when they heard the title. But this time too, Anthony Brown showed his virtuoso side.

As his younger brother Sai runs into the forest to hide, his older sister Poppy begins counting. "one two three four." As I count out loud, I start to feel impatient, as if I have become a tagger, and I become curious about my younger brother's whereabouts. As Sai hides tightly and Poppy goes through trial and error, the tension rises, and in the end, he hopes that his older sister will find him quickly, as he looks like he's going to say 'shh'. When he meets Sai's face, he sees the child's innocence and says 'cute!' 'I can't help but shout. The day is getting colder and the sound that Sai hears when she wants to go home, the sound that Poppy hears as she stands alone in the forest unable to find her younger sister Sai! As Sai said, to readers who thought of monsters, Anthony Brown shattered all expectations by introducing the lost dog Goldie. "found! “Both of you!” The moment all tension is relieved by Poppy's cry, what a great sense of happiness and relief comes to the reader! It is a moment to re-experience the catharsis of the extremely simple game of hide and seek.

[27] My Frida Written and illustrated by Anthony Brown / Translated by Gong Kyung-hee / Woongjin Junior

Another artist who fell in love with an artist, Anthony Brown

[My Frida] is a picture book written based on the story of Frida Kahlo, an artist whom Anthony Brown came to know deeply while traveling in Mexico. A strong and unique painting style, a life filled with polio and a car accident... Among the many perspectives that shed light on Frida Kahlo, what Anthony Brown focused on was the heart of the young Frida Kahlo. What did the young girl, who had endured illness, accidents, the unfavorable gaze of the world, and being alone as part of her daily life, look at and dream about? Anthony Brown held a pile of pencil sketches that he had just finished sketching and carefully turned over each page, creating a picture of the young girl. I read Frida’s story clearly. Along with the story that I put more affection into [My Frida] than any other picture book I have worked on so far. [My Frida] is a work that highlights the calm confession of Frida Kahlo, who was born and lived her entire life in Mexico, and the transcendent connection between British picture book author Anthony Browne, who was fascinated by her art.

[28] My Dad Written and illustrated by Anthony Brown / Translated by Gong Kyung-hee / Woongjin Junior

Anthony Browne's 『My Dad』 revisited in a revised edition 18 years after its domestic publicationAuthor Anthony Brown's picture book 『My Dad』 has been published in a revised edition. This work, which was first published in the UK in 2000 and was evaluated as “a rare work in which a father is involved in the childrearing and growth of children” (Book Page, 2001), was published as a complete collection and book (“My Dad”) in Korea in 2001 the following year. is the best』, Kinderland). In 14, 1986 years before the publication of 『My Dad』, writer Anthony Brown, who had previously shared his thoughts on feminism with readers through 『Pig Book』 In an interview with the British newspaper The Guardian immediately after the publication of 『My Dad』, he said that he had thought about it for a very long time before publishing this book. “I also wanted to write a positive book about ‘father.’ But I couldn’t find the right method for a very long time.” (2000, Guardian) The author was concerned about the possibility that 『My Dad』 could be read as another male hero story, but for Korean readers living in the 2000s, this work “ It could not help but be read as a work that shows “the tired side of a father who is tired of a hard life” and “let people express their gratitude to their father” (Busan Ilbo, 2009). At the time of publication, in the early 2000s, Korean society had no safety net. Going through the IMF foreign exchange crisis in a state where it was not properly equipped, the idea that the only thing to trust was family swept through the entire society, and the song that comforted the common people during that time was the children's song "Cheer up, Dad" (lyrics by Kwon Yeon-sun, composition by Han Soo-seong).

Four people meet in an ordinary park on the outskirts of the city. A mother who worries about everything, a lonely boy, a father who is depressed due to financial difficulties, and a girl who loves her father. Although the four spend time in the same space at the same time, they all remember that day completely differently. “In the Park” is a work with a unique composition in which four people explain events from their respective perspectives. The reader finally understands what happened in the park after hearing all of their voices in the first person. Anthony Brown tells each story thoughtfully, leading readers to empathize with the characters. The seasons and landscapes that change according to the emotional changes of the characters, and the familiar paintings and symbols hidden throughout the scenes add to the fun of reading the book. It is a picture book that shows Anthony Browne's characteristics well in terms of theme and expression, and received the Kurt Marschler Award, which is given to works that are outstanding in both text and illustration.
