"The Lie," written by Go Dae-yeong and illustrated by Kim Myeong-jin. This is the fifth picture book featuring Jiwon and Byeonggwan, the beloved siblings first introduced in "Riding the Subway," and continued in "Please Give Me Allowance," "Biting Nails," and "Learning to Ride a Bicycle." Children will relate to Jiwon and Byeonggwan's everyday experiences and root for them along the way. This story unfolds after Byeonggwan finds five thousand won lying on the ground at an empty playground. The book focuses closely on Byeonggwan's inner conflict as he uses the money to buy toys and tteokbokki, even though he knows it isn't right to spend someone else's money—and how he eventually tells a lie, only to feel regret afterward. The vivid and imaginative illustrations bring Byeonggwan's emotions to life, capturing children's hearts and imaginations. As children follow Byeonggwan through his struggle to resolve his inner turmoil and find peace again, they'll be encouraged to reflect on their own actions. They'll also come to understand that lying hurts ourselves more than anyone else. Rather than lying out of worry or fear, this story gently guides children toward confidently admitting mistakes and making things right.

Byeonggwan quickly picked up the money, pretended not to notice, and left the playground. Then he headed to the stationery store...
