{"product_id":"알사탕-제조법","title":"The Magic Candy Recipe","description":"#The Magic Candy Recipe and a New Beginning for Storybowl\n\nAs spring flowers bloom, Baek Hee-na's newest picture book has arrived. \"I wish I could eat magic candy too...\" \"How did Dong-dong's magic candy get made?\" Anyone who has read Magic Candy has probably wondered this at least once. This heartfelt wish became inspiration for the author, and now it returns to readers like magic — like a gift. If Magic Candy was a story about 'eating' magic candy, The Magic Candy Recipe is a story about 'making' it. This book is a spin-off of Magic Candy, revealing in detail the mysterious secret behind the candy that lets you hear the voice of the heart — a secret kept by the old man at the stationery store. It is also the very first title published as Storybowl reopens its doors. The author shared a few words about why she started Storybowl again: \"I wanted to recall the childhood days when I could draw freely on a blank sheet of paper, create a space for free creative expression, and connect more closely with my readers.\" May this book be a warm surprise gift for everyone who loves Magic Candy!\n\n#The Secret of Magic Candy, Begun Beneath the Stars\n\nOn a clear night twinkling with stars, an old man sits cross-legged, waiting quietly. Dressed in a gray, threadbare set of long underwear and faded striped pajama pants, he steadies his breath and carefully practices his yoga poses. He takes a warm bath and puts on his most comfortable pajamas. This is his own unique ritual for purifying body and mind before making magic candy. Carrying a bowl of clear water, he steps out onto the veranda where the stars shine brightest and begins the real work of making the candy. The ingredients are nothing special — clear water, a pot, a cloth, an entertaining book... just ordinary things found close at hand. If there's anything unusual, it might be his small, chatty friend who communicates just like a bluebird. Can candy that lets you hear the truest voice of the heart really be made from such plain ingredients? Can we really taste real magic candy too? Turn the page — the secret lies right before your eyes. But to make candy that never fails, it's important to read the footnotes at the bottom of each page carefully.\n\n#This Old Man Is No Ordinary Grandpa: The Messenger of Magic Candy\n\nWait, this scene feels familiar. While Dong-dong, examining the candy from every angle, was the main character on the cover of Magic Candy, in The Magic Candy Recipe, it's the stationery store's old man — carefully checking whether the candy has been made just right — who takes center stage. Bald, with a big red nose, gold-rimmed glasses, a worn yellow cardigan, and a goofy, wide-open grin, he looks comical, but sharp wisdom hides within him. He couldn't possibly be just an ordinary old man running a stationery store. Who is he really? A magic candy connoisseur? A mountain spirit? A wizard? Or perhaps a spiritual guide in pursuit of inner peace? He may hold abilities far beyond what we can imagine, or perhaps a secret manual passed down through his family for hundreds of years. He is not merely a candy maker but a messenger delivering life's wisdom, quietly watching over young souls living in a tough world, gently reminding them that the world is still safe, beautiful, and good. We all grow old, yet we rarely pay attention to the lives of the elderly — perhaps because we don't want to face a future we fear. But Baek Hee-na believes there is a strong bond between the old and the young, and that the elderly have so much wisdom and so many secret stories to pass on. The author warmly welcomes into her story a life that might seem ordinary, even dull — the life of an old man — transforming him into a mysterious and extraordinary being who holds the secret to candy that speaks the truth of the heart.\n\n#Always Stay Clear!\n\n\"Only those with a pure heart can make it, and only those with a pure heart can feel its power.\" \"Candy made with a clear heart will let you hear a clear sound.\" But making this candy is no easy task. Anyone can know about candy that reveals the voice of the heart, but not everyone can succeed in making it. The secret to candy that reveals one's true feelings lies in 'clarity.' 'Clarity' is transparent, clean, light, and refreshing. It can hold calm, stillness, and sincerity. Eastern philosophy, too, teaches that clearing the mind is the path to wisdom — for only when the mind is clear and transparent can one truly perceive the world and discover one's true self. And so, magic candy can only be made on a clear night, twinkling with stars.","brand":"IBOOKPARK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49624339349732,"sku":"02142025990","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/9788\/6692\/files\/9791198610607.jpg?v=1786426695","url":"https:\/\/ibookpark.com\/en\/products\/%ec%95%8c%ec%82%ac%ed%83%95-%ec%a0%9c%ec%a1%b0%eb%b2%95","provider":"IBOOKPARK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
