A solid guide to school life written by a current teacher
A fun classroom story we create together

A school life guide for prospective elementary school students and lower elementary school students, “My Friend Guide: How to Succeed in School Life,” has been published.
Won-Ah Kim, an elementary school teacher who has spent a long time working with children at school and a best-selling children's author of "I am Caterpillar No. 7, Class 2, Grade 3," delicately unfolds the colorful moments of school life in this book at a level children can understand.
Here, the lively and vibrant illustrations of author Jutsu, who is loved for his cheerful cartoons that closely relate to children's lives, are added to vividly portray the classroom stories created by classmates together.


It naturally captures the process of friends with different personalities and characteristics struggling and learning to do well in school.
In addition, current teachers provide practical and useful advice in an easy and fun way, including rules for friendships and communal living, and how to wisely deal with conflict situations.
Young readers will be able to view school life from a broader and deeper perspective by following the stories that unfold in various spaces of the school, such as the classroom, library, and health room.


Everyone is different and special!
Friendship deepens as you get to know your friends

"My Friends Guide: How to Succeed in School" tells the story in the form of a "Friend Guide," where the main character, Jo Ara, observes and records the various aspects of her friends.
Ara, who enjoys having fun with her friends and talking freely, wants to get along with more friends, so she carefully observes her friends' behavior and characteristics and completes the Pokedex.
In the process, Ara naturally comes to understand the colorful aspects of her friends.
When I see friends hesitating whether or not to raise their hands during presentation time, I feel a cautious and meticulous attitude, and when I see friends experiencing conflicts of opinion during group activities, I understand their efforts to clearly communicate their thoughts.
From my friend who hesitates while choosing a book at the library, I learn to think carefully and try to find the answer on my own.
Through Ara's process of observing and understanding her friends, she shows how important it is to respect diverse personalities in friendships.


We added fun by providing a section where readers can check for themselves whether they have any of the friends described in the book.
By following Ara's gaze, young readers will gain a new understanding of themselves and their friends, learn to respect each other's individuality, and learn the value of relationships that thrive on getting along together.
In addition, it helps students reflect on what kind of friend they are and how they relate to their friends, thereby affirming their own unique personality and helping them grow further.


How to be considerate of one another through friendly conversations

"My Friends Guide: How to Succeed at School" vividly depicts the daily schedule of elementary school students and their friends in various spaces at school.
In the classroom, students feel the joy of learning together while talking with their friends, and in the infirmary, they look after their friends and share warmth and consideration. Every space in the school becomes a stage for observing and understanding the various aspects of friends.
You will find that each day spent at school is a precious time for deepening your relationships with your friends and understanding each other better.
Additionally, the school life know-how of current teachers, which contains their experiences, helps children learn the rules to follow in communal life and how to deal with unexpected situations, and helps them develop the ability to resolve conflicts, big and small, that they encounter in school life on their own.
By reading this book, young readers will naturally learn specific methods for getting along with others while respecting each other's individuality.
