Into the book
I look for the good in people at home, at school, and on the street.
Everyone has strengths.
But if you don't look closely, the flaws tend to be more visible.
You have to get close and look at it for a long time.
There are many times when things that cannot be seen or held in hand are much more precious.
--- p.4

When you discover the other person's strengths that shine through, you'll realize how much fun this world has.
--- p.4

I wish I had concentration like my dad.
When you focus on something, the whole world becomes filled with it.
If I focus on what I love, will the whole world be filled with joy?
--- p.17

It's not fair to just share equally.
When playing together, it's only fair to wait for a friend who can't keep up and reach out first.
The better things are, the more I want to compromise and become more affectionate with them.
--- p.29

Could I become someone as consistent as a secret diary, always in the same place? I want to be like that diary, silently listening to others' joys and sorrows, day after day.
--- p.49

I also want to adapt well to new environments like Do-yoon.
If you open your heart without fear, courage will come.
I want to bravely challenge everything, like pedaling a bicycle with all my might.
--- p.109

I wish I could become as curious as Director Song Ji-min.
There are days when I get scolded for thinking useless thoughts, but even famous scientists and inventors have their fair share of bizarre ideas. I'll be the first to notice your hidden strengths that others overlook.
--- p.141

Even when I become an adult, like my older sister Han Min-seo, I will respect children.
Everyone is a child at some point.
Even when I grow taller, I will bend my knees to get down to eye level and listen to the child's story affectionately.
--- p.145

Publisher's Review
Everyone has strengths
Useful books for self-introduction


When introducing themselves, people usually talk about their strengths and weaknesses.
But everyone has probably had the experience of being speechless because they had difficulty finding their own strengths.
"What Are Your Strengths?" is a children's guide to discovering your strengths, providing clear answers to questions that everyone ponders throughout their lives.
The main character of this book, 'Kim Seo-jun', is a child whose strength is 'being good at finding strengths'.
Seojun says, “If you don’t observe closely, you can see the flaws more than the strengths,” and that in order to discover the strengths, you need to have a heart that explores the other person with affectionate eyes.
By reading along with the 36 strengths of various people discovered in this way, you can naturally learn the secrets of finding strengths.
The secrets to finding your strengths revealed in "What Are Your Strengths?" can be applied in the lives of children of all grades in elementary school.
It is also useful for teachers and parents to read and discuss with children.

Are only the excellent points an advantage?
A book that rediscovers your strengths through self-affirmation


‘Finding your strengths’ is a topic that often appears in career education for self-exploration.
In the section for writing down strengths, children often write about their appearance, such as "your glasses look good on you" or "you have pretty hands," or about things they are "good at," such as "you write well" or "you are good at giving presentations."
During this process, there are times when you lose confidence because you can't find any strengths at all.
Seojun, the main character of "What are your strengths?", carefully observes the people around him and notices things that we usually don't think of as strengths, such as "being empathetic," "being curious," "getting along well with others," "listening to the opinions of those around you," "knowing how to admit mistakes," and "respecting children."
"What are your strengths?" shows that each person's unique personality, temperament, habits, and mindset can also be strengths.
As children turn the pages, they will discover their hidden strengths and gain the courage to affirm themselves.
Additionally, through various advantages, you will be able to draw a clearer picture of what values ​​in life you consider important and what kind of person you want to become.


We can turn our weaknesses into strengths!
A book that awakens the value of living with the diversity of life.


If you have the heart to try to understand others, you can find good in everything in this world.
The protagonist finds merit in what may seem like a flaw or even something ordinary or trivial.
Poet Baek-gyu Choi, who speaks of love in pure and emotional language and whose strength is 'thinking positively about everything', expressed 36 strengths in a realistic and warm way at a level that children can understand.
The personality of the girl next door who spreads news from all over the neighborhood becomes an advantage in Seojun's eyes, as she is 'interested in other people and has a broad mind.'
I also see in my friend who makes sure everyone gets their fair share, an effort to ensure equal opportunities for everyone.
Seojun also looks at one strength from multiple perspectives.
In the 'strong and spirited' delivery man, we discover a strong physique and a delicate nature that allows him to observe and consider others, and in the 'laid-back' school security teacher, we discover the ability to respond to unexpected situations faster than anyone else.
This practice of finding the other person's strengths serves as a good stepping stone for accepting the diversity of others and developing flexible thinking.


Author Kyung Hye-won, whose strength lies in 'discovering the cuteness in people,' expressed the diverse strengths of various characters with a soft touch.
The strengths of the characters shine even brighter when the spotlight is placed on them with a humorous yet warm gaze.
Everyone has their strengths.
By striving to see the world as beautiful and warm, life becomes richer and the future we dream of becomes clearer.
By thinking about and discovering the strengths of others, children will gradually develop healthy relationships with the world around them.
"What's Your Strong Point?" ends with all the characters gathered together and smiling brightly.
I hope that through this book, children will learn the value of living together, complementing each other's weaknesses with each other's strengths.
