Kindergarten and early elementary years are a time when emotional preferences take shape. That's why it's so important during this period to create opportunities for children to become familiar with Korea's unique culture — holidays, customs, folk games, and traditional tools. If children learn to cherish their own heritage during this time, they can grow into more globally-minded individuals. Understanding Tradition Builds Deeper, Broader Perspective Knowing one's own traditions lays the mental foundation for deeper, broader thinking. It helps children trace traces of the past in the present and serves as a springboard for creativity that bridges past and future. Understanding the value of traditional culture, Kim Hong-shin and Im Young-ju thought carefully about how to help children understand tradition more easily, and came up with the idea of telling it through fun stories drawn from everyday life. ■ [I Want to Bow on Chuseok Too] Story Summary - A heartwarming everyday story about a child's adorable wish to bow (sebae) even on Chuseok - A traditional culture picture book featuring the meaning of Chuseok and ancestral rites, holiday food culture, and folk games Minwoo loves transforming robots so much that he even dreams about them while sleeping.
