A new cat has appeared that was nowhere to be seen!
A dreamlike day spent with a cute and playful old man

A new original fairy tale from bestselling author Hong Min-jeong

A new original children's story, "I am a Grandpa Cat," by Hong Min-jeong, author of "Cat Problem Solver Kkamnyang" and "Romantic Puppy Bongbong," has been published by Junior Kim Young-sa.
Author Hong Min-jeong, who has been loved by young readers for her lovable cat and dog characters, introduces a new cat, Grandpa Nyang, that you won't find anywhere else.


A cat with yellow fur, a languid expression, and a chubby body that is appealing but somehow suspicious suddenly appears in the living room of the main character, Geon-woo's house.
The cat starts to act like the landlord, saying that he is Gunwoo's grandfather and eating the fried tofu sushi on the table, asking him to bring water, and meddling.
Geon-woo, who was watching that scene, had a moment of doubt, but then believed that his grandfather had really returned and spent a very special day with his grandfather, or rather, with his grandfather.


The charming characters of Grandpa Nyang and Geon-woo in “I Am Grandpa Nyang” are the highlight of this book.
The unique cat Grandpa and the playful yet delicate Geonwoo's lively expressions make reading the book even more enjoyable.
The grandfather cat of artist Ha Min-seok, who has been active in comics and children's books with his unique drawings, is proud like a cat, but at times, it is as warm as a real grandfather.
As readers watch the lovely appearance of Grandpa Cat and Geonwoo, they will soon become absorbed in “I Am Grandpa Cat.”

“You bastard, you still don’t recognize me!”
Are you really my grandfather?

Geonwoo's grandfather passed away in a sudden accident around Chuseok last year.
The accident happened the day after we promised to run together at the school sports festival.
The adults don't tell Gunwoo about the accident.
Gunwoo can only guess that his family is in great sorrow.
A year later, when Chuseok comes again, Gunwoo, his mother, and his grandmother go to see his grandfather.
While pulling out the weeds growing on his grandfather's grave, building a stone tower, and cleaning up the surrounding area, Geon-woo accidentally discovers a clump of white rabbit grass.
Mom wove a bracelet with clover, and Geonwoo picked a handful and placed it in front of his grandfather's tombstone.
When Geon-woo returns home, he goes out to the yard and sits on the swing chair his grandfather made, playing with his rabbit grass bracelet and reminiscing about his grandfather.


Then, a yellow cat appears.
Geon-woo, who was curious about the cat that neither ran away nor approached him, puts the rabbit grass bracelet he happened to be holding around the cat's neck.
The yellow cat that ran away while Gunwoo was looking away for a moment appears in the middle of Gunwoo's living room a few days later.
He was talking like a human, saying things like he was Geonwoo's grandfather and asking if he still didn't recognize me...
How did this happen?

Comforting the hearts of those who have lost a loved one
A lively and poignant story by Hong Min-jeong

Author Hong Min-jeong, who writes a new history of children's books with each book she publishes, focuses on the feelings of a child who has lost a loved one.
The child, who still does not know what death is or what eternal separation is, lives with the last promise he was unable to make to his grandfather in his heart.
After a year, when the whole family was starting to find some semblance of normalcy, Grandpa Cat appeared.
It seems that those who have left miss their families just as much as the people who sent them away.
Gunwoo grows up a little as he succeeds in the 'hand-holding run' he had planned with his grandfather after many twists and turns.
Now I feel like I can really let my grandfather go.
Because he knew that his grandfather was always watching him.


The story, which unfolds cheerfully from the moment they meet Grandpa and finish the running competition, turns to a scene where Grandpa and Gunwoo have their real farewell, bringing a poignant feeling of sadness to everyone who has had an experience like Gunwoo.
It can happen to anyone, and life afterward can vary greatly depending on the actions of those left behind.
