A world full of prejudice, depicted through the eyes of an ordinary child.
A very special fairy tale that teaches us about perspectives and attitudes toward people with disabilities.

Author Goh Jeong-wook, who suffered from polio as a child and was unable to use his legs, broke people's prejudices and went to school with non-disabled students to study, earning a doctorate in literature and debuting as a novelist.
The author believes that if children who see the world as it is without prejudice gradually change their perception of people with disabilities, they will be able to create a better world.
So, I write many fairy tales that talk about disabilities, such as “The Boy Who Carries Bags” and “Tansil, the Guide Dog,” and I am working to create a world where people with disabilities are not discriminated against.


"Our Very Special Brother" realistically depicts the emotional changes that an ordinary third grader experiences when he begins living with a brother with cerebral palsy whom he had never known before.
Jongmin finds his brother disgusting and scary, and is ashamed of the fact that he has a disabled brother.
Jongmin, who had rejected his brother due to his prejudice against the disabled, finally opens his heart while living with his brother and realizes that disabled people are people just like him and have the same right to be happy.


By portraying the world's prejudices through the eyes of an ordinary child, the author provides readers with an opportunity to learn about the perspectives on people with disabilities and the attitudes they need to have to live with them.
This is a special work that warmly conveys to children the author's wish for a world where children do not have to worry about having a child with a disability, and that disability is not something special, but merely an inconvenience.
