{"product_id":"아홉-살-함께-사전","title":"The Nine-Year-Old's Dictionary of Togetherness","description":"Description\n\n\"There are so many things I want to do together with others!\"\n- A dictionary of relationships and communication for children\n\nAs children grow, they build relationships with more and more people. While they once spent most of their time with family, entering kindergarten or school introduces them to a bigger world—new friends, teachers, neighbors, and other people beyond their peer group. Living alongside others means sharing thoughts and experiences, empathizing with other people's feelings, and at the same time growing on the inside. For children whose social circles are still small, this can be both exciting and full of curiosity.\n\nBut communicating with others isn't always easy. Children who don't yet have enough words and expressions to communicate with others often struggle to express themselves. This can make relationships difficult and sometimes make children hesitant to connect with others at all.\n\n\"The Nine-Year-Old's Dictionary of Togetherness\" is organized like a dictionary, presenting 80 expressions used in various human relationships—from \"to get close to\" to \"to make up\"—in alphabetical order. The book introduces situations children commonly encounter in daily life along with the expressions they can use in each case. Through concise yet emotionally resonant writing paired with vivid, heartfelt illustrations, young readers can empathize with the situations depicted while learning not only how to skillfully express their own thoughts, but also how to understand and consider others. Another strength of this book is that, by reading the explanations, children can grasp the precise meaning of each expression as well as concrete ways to use it. This book will be a wonderful guide for young readers learning to communicate naturally with others and live in harmony together.\n\n\"I want to express myself more confidently and naturally!\"\n- A dictionary filled with diverse, concrete situations\n\n\"The Nine-Year-Old's Dictionary of Togetherness\" introduces frequently used expressions in various human relationships along with specific situations in which they're used. The expression \"to ask a favor\" is introduced through situations such as asking an older sister to button up the back of a dress, asking a friend to hold your shoe bag while you fix your shoe, or asking an older sibling to check your multiplication table for mistakes. The expression \"to apologize\" is presented through situations like speaking to a friend who hasn't talked to you for days after a fight, admitting you were wrong for saying something hurtful to a friend, or telling a younger sibling you're sorry after teasing them until they cried.\n\nThrough this book, readers will be able to communicate with others more confidently and naturally by using the right expressions when they encounter similar situations. Active communication also helps children better understand situations and strengthen their relationships with others. When a friend or family member makes a mistake, using the word \"to shield\/cover for\" (meaning to gently overlook a weakness or fault) helps children respond with generosity. When meeting someone who is sad, understanding the word \"to comfort\" (meaning to soothe sadness with warm words and actions) and offering kind words can help children grow closer to others than before. The process of strengthening relationships with a variety of people will also enrich children from within.\n\n\n\nWitty writing meets warm illustrations\n- Poet Park Sung-woo and illustrator Kim Hyo-eun team up again!\n\nPoet Park Sung-woo and illustrator Kim Hyo-eun, who created the beautiful collaboration \"The Nine-Year-Old's Dictionary of Feelings,\" have joined forces once again. Known for capturing children's hearts through concise, humorous writing, poet Park Sung-woo vividly portrays the many situations nine-year-olds might experience while living alongside others. Through 80 rich and varied expressions, the poet guides young readers on the path to learning how to live \"together\" with others. Illustrator Kim Hyo-eun brings the many people children meet and the world around them to life through warm, delicate artwork. The realistic writing and lifelike illustrations—vivid enough that young readers will feel the stories are their own—will be a great source of comfort and courage for children who have hesitated to build relationships with others, helping them overcome their fears.","brand":"IBOOKPARK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49623998333156,"sku":"2019082006591","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/9788\/6692\/files\/screen_shot_2019-09-29_at_10.22.44_pm.jpg?v=1786423515","url":"https:\/\/ibookpark.com\/en\/products\/%ec%95%84%ed%99%89-%ec%82%b4-%ed%95%a8%ea%bb%98-%ec%82%ac%ec%a0%84","provider":"IBOOKPARK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
