my favorite fruit

Description

The long-awaited first cherry blossoms
In June, the beginning of summer, have you picked and eaten your first cherry? I no longer care about the briar shoots that I used to pluck and eat until they smelled fresh. How about peaches? As soon as the tip of the pointed tail turns red, you eat it. I was so happy to see the sweetness faintly hidden in the tender flesh. The children spent the year waiting for the fruit to ripen. This book is a story about the fruits that the children of this land have been waiting for to ripen for a very long time.

Our fruits recorded in miniature
This book records 25 types of fruits grown in Korea in detail throughout spring, summer, fall, and winter. Teacher Son Kyung-hee, who created the painting, personally conducted research over a period of four years and meticulously created over 4 miniature paintings. Children will be able to easily understand the story behind each fruit by looking at the rich detailed paintings like a picture book.

The ecology and cultural history of fruit in the story
Teacher Park Seon-mi, who wrote the article, is a first-grade elementary school teacher. This book was written as if she was telling a story to her class. A story about getting your arms and legs scratched by thorns while picking raspberries, a story about being covered in bugs while shaking off mulberries, a story about eating a lot of green jujubes and pooping foam... She wrote the story about the fruit as if it were being told in a whisper. The story is also full of in-depth information such as the history, cultivation, and ecological characteristics of the fruit.
