The second volume in the Changbi Sundry Neighbors Series, which presents stories of people who dream freely and make challenges with gusto

 

Through a taekgyeon (traditional Korean martial art) master who makes courageous choices in life in his own way and Min-jun, the protagonist, this tale prompts readers to reflect on the definition of true strength and happy and natural ways of using strength. Min-jun, who has yelled at and tormented Gyeong-su, the weakest student in class, to show off his strength, realizes after hearing the master’s words that he must do something other than learning kicking skills in order to be a truly strong person: admitting his own faults and genuinely apologizing to Gyeong-su. In the process of learning and putting into practice the meaning of a “really strong” person, the boy gains a precious friend and a wonderful mentor. As credible and likely characters and incidents unfold fascinatingly, this book will prompt children to realize ways of honing their own strength and living with others. Also adding to the joy of reading this volume are illustrations that, through free-flowing expressive techniques, well depict the flexibility and rhythm of taekgyeon moves.
