Loved this story, and the illustrations! Based off a Korean fable, read about how a small shift in mindset changes Misfortune Mountain to Good Fortune Mountain. Vibrant and joyful! Thanks to North South and NetGalley for the eARC!

Very cute storyline. All it takes is a shift in your perspective was the moral this book was giving. Adorable illustrations as well.

I enjoyed this retelling! Learning to love something instead of fear it - instead harnessing the fear and making it work for you. It felt a little rushed overall and I would have loved to see more about the old man feeling ill and looking for answers elsewhere. Engaging illustrations, would have liked to see font choices which matched this style more closely.

This charming Korean folktale is beautifully retold with colorful illustrations. In it a mountain has a reputation for shortening the lives of people who fall on it. A Grandfather must travel over the mountain to reach the market each week. When one day he falls his life is changed. His belief is cleverly redirected by his Granddaughter in a twist ending that is heartwarming and lovely.
