Description Jjangjjangi is heading to the market. She puts her annoying little sibling on the back of her bike and sets off to sell them. But when the toy shop lady, the grandfather at the flower stand, and the bakery lady each ask where she's going, she tells them all about how much trouble her sibling causes her—and no one wants to buy. In the end, Jjangjjangi decides to just give her sibling away for free to her friend Suni. But when Suni says she doesn't want the sibling even for free, Jjangjjangi starts listing her sibling's good points one by one... What kind of relationship do siblings really have? This picture book invites readers to explore that puzzling, unsolvable question through delightful illustrations. The relationship between siblings may be one of life's great mysteries. Some days they seem closer than anyone else in the world; other days they feel like total strangers. Sometimes you could just about strangle them, and other times you love them so much you could squeeze them tight. Author Im Jeong-ja captures this sibling dynamic with wonderful wit through Jjangjjangi and her little sibling. With their parents nowhere in sight, Jjangjjangi has been left to look after her little sibling. Maybe the sibling begged to go out and ride the bike, dragging a reluctant Jjangjjangi along. Whatever the reason, once her sibling is riding on the back of her bike, Jjangjjangi can't help but wish she could get rid of them somehow. Since she can't just abandon them, she decides selling them is the next best thing. While her sister schemes with sparkling eyes about how to make the sale, the sibling sitting behind her has no idea what's going on and is simply enjoying the ride. Every time the toy shop lady, the flower shop grandfather, or the bakery lady asks where she's headed, Jjangjjangi announces she's off to sell her sibling—and proceeds to list all their misdeeds. "My little sibling is SO annoying. They talk back to me and say mean things, but the moment Mom and Dad are around, they act all sweet!" Naturally, no one wants to buy a sibling after hearing that. Meanwhile, the sibling—hearing all of this said about them in front of the whole market—just listens calmly, without arguing, throwing a tantrum, or defending themselves at all. This uncharacteristic calm only irritates Jjangjjangi more, and as time passes, she exaggerates her sibling's faults even further. Finally, she offers to sell her sibling to her friend Suni—and when that doesn't work, she offers to give them away for free. But Suni says, "No thanks, not even for free." Determined to get rid of her sibling one way or another, Jjangjjangi starts thinking about what might convince Suni to take them. She begins listing her sibling's good qualities—they run errands well, they're great at playing prince, and they even make a good servant during princess games... The more she thinks about it, the more she realizes her sibling is actually too valuable to give away for free. Perhaps, after telling so many people about her sibling's faults, she's already let go of her frustration. Whatever the reason, Jjangjjangi's feelings suddenly change completely—her desire to sell her sibling melts away like snow. She quickly grabs her sibling's other arm—the one Suni isn't holding—and pulls them away. Though the tug nearly stretches their arm to its limit, the sibling just looks confused, clearly on Jjangjjangi's side. With a very different heart than when she arrived, Jjangjjangi rides out of the market with her sibling, heading home. As she leaves, she can't help but brag to the bakery lady, the flower shop grandfather, and the toy shop lady about all the things her sibling is good at. Now everyone wants to buy the sibling! But Jjangjjangi decides she'd be at a loss to sell them after all. The sibling, who had been following along so obediently the whole time, suddenly refuses to get back on the bike, wanting to play the arcade game in front of the toy shop instead. For Jjangjjangi, who just needs to get them home safely, this is more than a little exasperating. She drags her sibling onto the bike and heads home—and sure enough, the moment they're alone in front of their house, with no one from the market around anymore, the sibling's true colors come out. The same sibling who behaved so well in front of the market crowd, who took Jjangjjangi's side the whole time, who was even polite in front of sneaky Suni—suddenly throws a fit the second things don't go their way, yanking hard on Jjangjjangi's hair. "That's it—I really should have sold them cheap!"
