Brief Summary: A beautiful information book set on the subway in Seol. With wonderful illustrations and poetic language this book will appeal to children aged 7 and above.
Age recommendation: Years 2-6
Notable reasons for recommending: This book will help children in Westernised countries to see that people in foreign countries are not ‘others’ but similar to them. The interplay between words and pictures keeps the reader hooked and there are so many cross curricular opportunities such a geography and PSHE available to use with this book.
Other information: Look carefully at the illustrations, multiple reads provide different perspectives and pay close attention to the end papers!
