The warm emotion of "The Days My Soul Was Warm" along with the original work

This book is a Korean-English translation of the English and Korean versions of "Days When My Soul Was Warm," which has been loved by our readers for many years.
Now, when enjoyed alongside the original, "The Days My Soul Was Warm" will warm and awaken our souls with even greater emotion.
First published in the United States in 1976 under the title The Education of Little Tree, "The Days My Soul Was Warm" is an unusual book that received proper recognition only 15 years after its publication and 12 years after the author's death.
When the book was first published, it was covered by several media outlets, but it went out of print due to poor sales.
But every reader who read this book, even once, felt a warm feeling in his heart, and as word of mouth spread, the book became increasingly rare.
This invisible yet powerful force prompted the University of New Mexico Press to republish the book in 1986.
This book, which was republished in this way, saw its sales increase year after year, and was on the New York Times bestseller list for 17 weeks in 1991, and also won the ABBY Award in the same year.
The National Booksellers Association, which selected the award, said, "This is the most rewarding book we have ever sold."
Meanwhile, in Korea, this book has been a long-term bestseller for over 10 years, establishing itself as a must-read for everyone regardless of era or generation.
This novel has been included on the recommended reading lists of numerous organizations and groups, including Teachers Creating a Warm World with Books, Children's Book Research Association, Hanuri Reading Movement Headquarters, Central Reading Center, School Library Journal, Book Reading Education Society Action Council, BBS (Busan Book Start) Movement Headquarters, Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation, EBS, Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, and Busan Metropolitan Office of Education.

A 'small classic' that will change your life philosophy

This book, a kind of coming-of-age novel, begins with the main character, Little Tree, living with his grandparents after the death of his single mother.
Living with his Cherokee grandparents, Little Tree learns the wisdom of living in harmony with nature as a mountain man and an Indian, and seeing and judging the world according to the laws of nature.

The little tree teaches the Cherokee Indian philosophy of giving love and gifts without expecting gratitude from grandparents, knowing the heart of the soul, and understanding others.
We also learn how the Indians, who were trampled by white civilization but still maintained their souls by conforming to the laws of nature and valuing spiritual enrichment as the highest value,
This book is also an indictment of modern society, which has gone beyond the laws of nature and is filled with greed and hypocrisy.
The figures of politicians, religious figures, and other people that the small tree encounters in the world are like our self-portraits.
Their egoism, materialism, and the resulting evils clearly show the desolation of our lives today.
This book makes us deeply reflect on the fiction of modern society, and ultimately purifies our souls with warm emotions.

This fiction of modern civilization reaches its climax in the consideration of forcibly sending Little Tree to an orphanage to provide him with a 'better education' and a 'better environment' because Little Tree's grandparents were Indian and raised him with a different philosophy than their own.
Eventually, Little Tree painfully realizes the cruelty and hypocrisy of white civilization, which treats him as an “illegitimate child destined for hell anyway” simply because his parents did not marry like white people, and after his grandparents die, he becomes a young wanderer who wanders in search of an Indian confederation that does not exist anywhere.
