This heartwarming story follows Minjae, a boy who 'has everything he could want' but is still young and self-centered, as he comes to understand the deeply hidden wish in the heart of Hyeona, a girl who serves as the head of her family, through a sotdae (a traditional village totem pole) and Mokgeori Mountain. Through well-crafted storytelling and vivid character portrayals, the book beautifully depicts the process of conflict and reconciliation between the two children. For children around age ten who are just beginning to shift their focus from themselves to others, this story shows that the truest meaning of growing up lies in learning to read a friend's heart, confidently listening to the voice within oneself, and ultimately coming to understand and embrace one's friends and family. The story realistically reflects the lives of today's children through its two contrasting protagonists, and by bringing in the 'sotdae' — traditionally erected at village entrances to pray for the community's peace and protection — as a central motif, it encourages young readers to cherish the beautiful wishes they nurture in their own hearts.
