Description: A picture book that beautifully captures a child's inner world. The boundless imagination of children pairs wonderfully with the playful, humorous illustrations. While mischievous Rudy is playing on the monkey bars, a fairy appears and tells him she'll grant his wish—so he should think of one. Delighted, Rudy excitedly rattles off wish after wish to the fairy. He wants to be a knight galloping bravely on horseback, or maybe transform into a monkey and show off amazing acrobatic tricks. Or wait—how about becoming an astronaut instead? He could fly to Mars, share meals with Martians, and even play soccer with them... In the end, Rudy tells the fairy a rather unexpected wish. 'I want to be a knight. What would it be like to be a knight? Hmm, if I were a knight... then I'd really get to ride a horse like the knights do. Suddenly there'd be a whooshing sound of wind, and a terrifying dragon would block my path. It would breathe heavily, huffing and puffing to scare me. And then, right on its head... bonk! I'd give it a nice big bump.' Seo Chang-hyeon: A child who loves things just as they are. Author: Angelika Glitz Recent works: Rudy's One Wish, Milly's Amazing Secret, and 2 titles in total.
