Ouch! My little brother turned into 10 liters of trash!

The most honest and engaging sibling story ever told!
- From the comments of the judges Kang Jeong-yeon, Kim Ji-eun, and Yoo Eun-sil


The Biryongso Literary Award, which has revitalized lower grade literature with fresh writers and works every year, announced the winner of its 8th annual award, Choi Do-young's "Regi, My Little Brother."


"Reggie, My Little Sister" is a fantasy fairy tale about the hilarious antics of two sisters who can't stand to eat each other.
Stories of siblings meowing are already abundant in existing fairy tales.
At a point where it seems like a newer story is possible, rookie writer Choi Do-young throws down the gauntlet with a new sensibility and surprising talent.


Whenever my older sister Lizzy gets upset because of her annoying younger brother Remy, she writes "My brother is trash" in her notebook until her hand hurts.
But for some reason, the next day, my brother really turns into a 10-liter piece of trash.
The story unfolds in a fun and exciting way as a bewildered Lizzy struggles to return her younger brother to his original form.


Judges Kang Jeong-yeon (children's story writer), Yoo Eun-sil (children's story writer), and Kim Ji-eun (children's story critic) said, "There have been many children's stories about stress from younger siblings, but this work stands out for its honesty that goes a step further." They also said, "The author's ability to create a new work with such a familiar, universal subject matter that is so moving and fun is truly surprising."
Rather than simply adding another similar story to the many existing sibling stories, this is an attractive work that unfolds the story more honestly and boldly to suit the tastes of today's children.

Publisher's Review
It's sad because it's the first, and it's sad because it's the second.

A time to look into each other's hearts and understand each other's positions
“I really, really, really, really hate that kid!”

Doremi, Doremi.
The sisters, who have unusual names, fight and fight again from the moment they wake up until they go to bed, just like most siblings.
The older sister, Lizzy, hates her younger sister, Remi, who monopolizes cuteness with his natural charm.
Lizzy is so sad and angry that she can't even sleep because she got scolded by her younger brother even though she did nothing wrong.
To relieve his resentment, he scribbles his younger brother's name in a notebook, and his younger brother turns into a 10-liter piece of trash just like that.
The process of trying to return the younger brother who has turned into trash to his original form is full of humor and wit, which are the virtues of this work.

Lizzy wishes her little brother would return to his original form so she can feed him as much chestnuts as she wants.
That's why Lizzy, who usually hates walking, climbs Mt. Somang while carrying a pile of trash on her back to pray at the Rock of Hope.
Meanwhile, Lizzy is happy to think about the slushie she'll get for the price of her sister's burger, and Remy is worried that her sister will eat the candy alone even though she's turned into trash.
As we follow these two sisters who keep bickering until the very end, we begin to feel that their feelings and affection for each other have changed significantly since the beginning.
And in the process, I feel a strange sense of relief and camaraderie as I confirm that my mom and dad were jealous of each other because they thought the other liked them more than me.
The process of feeling and learning about aspects of myself that I didn't know about through the other person becomes a time for us to understand each other.
It is a masterpiece that is written with consistently stable and witty sentences that allow one to follow the character's emotions well.


The liberation that comes from the freedom to express negative emotions
“I think I’ll be able to sleep only after doing ‘that thing.’”

Even children clearly have negative emotions.
And only by giving children the freedom to express those feelings can they grow up healthy.
It is impossible for a human being to grow fully with only a beautiful, kind, and positive mind.
In that respect, siblings are the closest companions who exchange negative emotions with each other.

Lizzy relieves the stress she feels from her younger brother by writing "My little brother is trash" in her notebook.
I feel a sense of satisfaction every time I call my trashy brother trash.

The author says that it is good for readers to feel a sense of accomplishment when they see their younger sibling turned into trash or their older sister turned into a crumpled can.
Just imagining it like that can be a source of comfort, and that is the power that literature can give to children.
