A really sweet story perfect to share with young kids who are afraid of the unknown. While also being a good read for adults who fear change and growing older. The artwork was beautiful and I loved each picture that was included in the story.

Dayeon Auh ha recreado un antiguo cuento popular coreano. Un abuelo debe atravesar la Montaña del Espanto para llegar al mercado, pero resbala y cae en el camino. Cuando se enferma tres años después, está seguro de que debe haber una conexión. Pero la nieta inspira a su triste abuelo a ver su caída desde una perspectiva completamente nueva.

El libro termina con estas palabras: Contada e ilustrada pro Dayeon Auh con imágenes maravillosas y las palabras perfectas. ¡No podría estar más de acuerdo!

Un agradecimiento especial a María José Ferreda y Silke Kleeman quienes tradujeron este libro ilustrado del alemán al español.

Para mayor claridad, recibí este libro de NetGalley y NorthSouth Books a cambio de una reseña honesta.

Dayeon Auh has fashioned a retelling of an old Korean folktale. A old man must travel through Scary Mountain to get to the market, and he slips and falls in route. When the old man falls ill three years later, he’s SURE there must be a connection! But the old man’s granddaughter inspires her sad grandfather to look at his fall in a completely new light.

The book ends with these words: Told and illustrated by Dayeon Auh with wonderful images and perfect words. I couldn't agree more!

Special thanks to María José Ferreda and Silke Kleeman who translated this picture book from German into Spanish.
