Carefully selected by Professor Koh Gwang-yoon of the Department of English Language and Literature at Yonsei University, the leading authority on children's English education in Korea.
Contains 100 of the best picture books for parents and children to read together.
'There are so many English picture books, I don't know which ones to read first.' 'What kinds of books can I read even if I'm not good at English?' 'What parts should I focus on when reading?' Many people worry because they don't know which books to start with, how to read them, or what to feel.
There are many more English picture books published each year than Korean picture books, so there are many good ones.
It is true that for those who are encountering English books for the first time, it can feel like a barrier to choosing which ones to read.
"The Miracle of Slow Reading, 100 English Picture Books" is a book for those who want to make the most of English picture books that are good to read even if you just read one.
Professor Koh Kwang-yoon of the Department of English Language and Literature at Yonsei University has been researching and teaching English language studies, English education, and language acquisition for over 30 years.
As a leading domestic authority in the field of English education for children, he has been researching and applying the most effective methods for Korean children to acquire English.
The best way he found was to read English books for fun.
Through this method, he raised all four of his children to be fluent English speakers.
Despite the availability of low-cost, easy, and reliable methods, I feel sorry for the reality in Korea where people waste a lot of money and time on unnecessary things. Therefore, I have made it my mission to spread the word and educate the public about the English learning methods I have researched and practiced.

We have also opened a Naver Cafe called “Slow Miracle Magic School” to make it easily accessible to many people, and are running various programs as a form of talent donation to help alleviate the concerns of parents and children about English.

Into the book
Just because you read a lot doesn't mean you'll become fluent in English.
To succeed in reading English books, you need to choose good books and read them properly.
Because if it's not a good book, it won't be effective, and if you don't do anything right, it's useless.
(…) This book is written for those who are having trouble deciding which book to choose and how to read among the flood of English books.
I hope that through this book, many people will immerse themselves in the joy of reading English picture books and experience the power of slowness and the "slow miracle" that comes from it.
---From "Prologue_The desire to share even just one good book"
We've carefully selected only the best from countless English picture books.
It's not just a fun book.
These books are worth reading deeply, as they contain literary value as well as social, cultural, and historical significance.
We selected 100 books that you can see more of when you read slowly, and then provided guidance on how to read each picture book.
We have confirmed the fun and emotion of these selected picture books by reading them with thousands of mothers, fathers, and children.
---From "The Best Picture Books, Carefully Selected and Guided"
This work explains the meaning and role of a teddy bear as an attachment doll at each stage of life.
(As can be seen in the repeated expression 'Bear is a bear full of love') it emphasizes that although roles change and there are many twists and turns, full love always remains constant.
---「004.
From "Bear Is a Bear"
Author Uri Shulevitz was born into a Jewish family in Poland in the 1930s and wandered Europe as a refugee for eight years.
Let's think about what kind of world the writer dreamed of and what he wanted to say through this book, and share our thoughts.
---「012.
From "Snow"
This work has high artistic value and offers much to think about, having won both the Caldecott Medal (2013) and the Kate Greenaway Medal (2014), which are considered the best children's literature awards in the UK and the US.
---「013.
From "This Is Not My Hat"
The journey of a big crab and a small crab holding hands and heading to the sea is vividly depicted.
Note the use of onomatopoeia, especially in the passages over rocks and puddles, and capitalized expressions to indicate heightened emotion.
By highlighting that part and reading it vividly, you can add more life to the reading of the book.
---「022.
From "Don't Worry, Little Crab"
Leonard challenges conventional thinking by rejecting the aggressive behavior typically expected of a lion.
Through this, we convey an encouraging message to stay true to ourselves and not give in to social conventions or pressures that define our identity.
Furthermore, it teaches us that it is important to acknowledge and respect differences and embrace diversity.
---「045.
From "How to Be a Lion"
The unique atmosphere of the illustrations and the imaginative story provoke many thoughts and questions.
Pay particular attention to the meaning and symbolism contained in the font style of each picture and letter.
For example, why is Eric's name written entirely in lowercase (eric)? Why is the dot in the lowercase i placed above the r and why is it a different color? Why is only the last two illustrations in color? Why is the book so unusually small?

Book review
Some days the writing is plentiful, some days it's sparse.
I have found that children are interested in reading picture books, no matter how long, until the end, as long as the content is good.
Together, we reminisce about the past through picture books, discover pearls of wisdom in unfamiliar books, and discover new sides of familiar books.
I turn the pages with excitement, wondering what kind of book awaits us today.
I hope that this time spent with my child will continue, and I will continue to be with him without letting go.
- Jeong Ji-yoon
Reading the books and introductions carefully selected by Slow Miracle enriched my conversations with my child about books, and I even felt like reading the same books over and over again.
After about a year of this journey of slowly reading and repeatedly finding treasures in books, not only my child's English skills but also my own have improved significantly.
It's not just about English skills.
Love and interest in picture books have also increased.
Peace of mind, creative thinking, the power of reasoning, and even English skills… .
Meeting Slimi was a great stroke of luck for me.
I want to continue to be with Slyme slowly and steadily.
“Slow and steady wins the race.” - Kim Hye-min
When I tell her it's time to go to bed, my child runs up to me and waits in front of the bookshelf, asking, "What book are you reading today?"
The child who used to be curious about what kind of books his mother was reading is now sharing his thoughts with his mother and chatting away.
A picture book that comforts my heart becomes a bridge of emotions connecting me and my child.
The time I spend with my child, sharing heart-wrenching and touching stories with him, is truly a time of happiness given to me.
Would you like to join us in the miracle of slow reading? - Lee Jin-hee
I thought I had read quite a few English picture books, but Slow Miracle opened the door to another world for me.
Because it opened up a new dimension of reading that was considered a means for children to learn English, allowing them to discover the literary value of books.
The questions that led me to think in many different ways sparked my imagination and became a stimulus that made me think about how to apply them to my life.
This is the ultimate picture book guide that breaks the mold of my thinking and allows me to have deep conversations with my child.
- Kim Kyung-mi
For the past four years with Slow Miracle, I've read the best English picture books with my child every day and grown together.
With the leading authority on children's English education and English reading personally selecting the best books, you don't have to worry about choosing books.
In addition, a detailed reading guide was provided so that students learned how to read and understand with their heart, regardless of their reading level.
I highly recommend this book to parents who are wondering what English books their children should read and how to read them.
