Lane Smith, the author of numerous bestselling books and winner of prestigious awards including the Caldecott Honor and the BIB Golden Apple, has once again captured the hearts of readers around the world.
"Yes, It's a Book!" is a "book about books" written by a writer who has been loved by readers for his unique imagination, unpredictable story development, and sensuous illustrations.
Immediately after its publication, it heated up the American media and remained on the New York Times bestseller list for 23 consecutive weeks. It also received worldwide attention and was published in 25 countries, including France, Germany, the UK, Italy, Israel, Spain, China, and Japan.
In 2024, it was also included in the revised elementary school 1-2 Korean language national textbook.
An exquisite and humorous insight into 'books' in the digital age!
"Yes, It's a Book!" is a picture book that says, "This is a book," in the digital age where various electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, e-books, console game machines, and VR have taken over our daily lives.
When you open the book, three unique characters greet the reader: 'Mouse' standing on the letters, 'Donkey' holding a laptop under his arm and glancing at the mouse, and 'Monkey' reading a book.
Instead of long and difficult explanations, the book clearly talks about its essential value through Donkey's absurd questions, Monkey's short answers, humorous and concise dialogue with the mouse that appears at crucial moments, and simple but humorous illustrations.

Publisher's Review
Can I play games? Can I send emails? Is there Wi-Fi?
No… this is a book.
Donkey, who is familiar with electronic devices but has no idea what a book is, is curious about a strange object that doesn't have a mouse or scroll.
Donkey approaches Monkey, who is reading a book, and pricks up his ears and asks him questions.
“How do you scroll?” “Can you blog with it?” “Can you play games with it?”
To Donkey's endless questions, Monkey consistently gives the incomprehensible answer, "No, this is a book."
It's amazing how Donkey can sit still for a long time and turn the pages of a book, even though he can't do anything on the computer.
When Donkey was given the book he was reading, “Treasure Island,” Donkey cut the story short like this.
“^ㅇ^! Okay? ㅋㅋ” “:( ! :)” The conflict and emotions of the main character in the book who survived a near-death experience, and the tense situation in the story are summarized in this one emoticon!
What exactly are books? The value and power they possess.
However, Donkey, who borrowed Monkey's book, soon becomes quiet.
I got so absorbed in the book that I started reading.
The clock hands tick above Donkey's head, and Donkey's expression and ears also move busily, changing from moment to moment.
With just that one scene, this book tells the reader a lot.
Unlike electronic devices that capture attention with their diverse functions and flashy images, books are a medium that allows readers to actively control the pace and pace of the story.
It allows you to immerse yourself in the material by giving you ample time to think, reflect, and ponder on it.
However, "Yes, It's a Book!" does not mean that you should read a paper book rather than use an electronic device.
Just as electronic devices allow us to play games, blog, and even send text messages, paper books also deliver a delightful message that they can do things that electronic devices simply cannot.
For book lovers, both adults and children, this book will rediscover the power and value of paper books, a value often forgotten in the digital age.
