Description
Book Introduction
Olga's extraordinary journey in pursuit of her dreams Kiosk refers to the touchscreen unmanned terminals commonly seen in restaurants and cafes these days, but it originally referred to a circular pavilion seen in Islamic architecture, and refers to a street vendor stand or small store. There's a person sitting inside this kiosk all day selling things as if it were a real machine terminal. This is Olga, the main character of this picture book. Winner of the 2021 Peter Pan Award and also known as the animated film of the same name, Kiosk tells the story of Olga, who embarks on a journey to find her dreams through a stroke of luck that borders on accident.

Publisher's Review
Olga sits all day in a small shop barely big enough for her to fit in, selling newspapers, magazines, and lottery tickets.
For Olga, the street stall, the 'kiosk', is her workplace, her resting place, and ultimately, her life.
Customers always pass by at similar times, buying similar items, and Olga knows very well which customers will buy what.
When there are no customers, all Olga can do in the cramped kiosk is read travel magazines and dream of the enchanting sunset over the sea.
I sincerely hope that one day I will be able to see the beautiful sunset over the sea with my own eyes.
But then comes the opportunity to make this dream, which seemed impossible to achieve, come true.
It comes to Olga in the form of a small accident, unpredictable.
While Olga was looking away, some boys were stealing sweets from the kiosk.
Olga's world is turned upside down as she tries to hold on to her children.
Olga collapses inside the kiosk and struggles for a while before suddenly jumping up.
Only then do you realize that you can move the kiosk by yourself.
Olga, who has always been stuck in one place, is excited to go for a walk with the kiosk for the first time in her life.
The joy is short-lived, as another obstacle arrives.
I tripped over the dog's leash and fell into the river.
Olga and the kiosk float along the river for a long time, drifting away to the distant sea.
And the author uses his ingenious imagination to turn a small misfortune into a great fortune, making Olga's dream come true.
After a seemingly absurd journey, Olga arrives at the beautiful sunset beach she had always dreamed of.
Now Olga sells ice cream at a kiosk on the beach.
Just like I dreamed, I can enjoy the enchanting sunset in the evening.
Will this be the end of Olga's journey? Who knows.
Next time, you might be able to travel to a beautiful Arctic village where the Northern Lights unfold.
Originally presented as a short animated film with bold lines and vibrant colors, this story provides food for thought not only for young readers but also for adults who are losing their dreams.
Even if the kiosk of reality, like Olga's kiosk, suffocates us, this picture book tells readers that we can dream and achieve our dreams within our own kiosk, and that what matters is what we dream.
