Children's Books
Children's books are teaching aids that build language
skills and cultural awareness of a society. Korean children's books
are valuable tools that provide children with an innate sense of the
rhythm of the language and give them a cultural foundation combining
the past with the present. The Korean
language is graceful and is part of the artwork featured in these
children's books. Children become familiar with written language as
well as the spoken word when their books are read aloud. The rich
mythology provides a unique opportunity to bond parents with their
children when the stories are shared. The stories parents share with
their children are the ones that will be shared with their
grandchildren. In this way, historical events, dance, music, art,
and mythology is passed from one generation to the next and feeds
the rich cultural river Koreans of all ages draw upon. Special
celebrations are often tied to food and stories. For example,
children learn the importance of the New Year and the symbolism of
the food that is prepared for this celebration.
Korean children's books often provide satisfying
answers to the question, "Why do we do things this way?" Children
are then able to answer that question when asked by their
peers. Ultimately, Korean children's books build a sense of
identity and pride in young readers.
