Waiting for Mama (English and Korean Edition)

Told in a few lines of text this tender story was first published in a newspaper in 1938. This tale from Korea is universal--a small child waits for Mama at the station asking the conductor if he has seen her. The conductor hasnt but cautions the child to wait a little farther from the tracks. It is cold and snowy but the child waits patiently until finally Mama comes. In the last wordless spread we see the small hand in a mothers firm clasp as they walk away from us. The art and text are so authentic so real that this book is best published in a bilingual edition that respects and honors those traditions. The Korean setting gives it special appeal to a growing demographic segment. The institutional market is especially hungry for bilingual books in languages beyond Spanish.
