Dive into the frog pool to beat the summer heat!

On a hot, sunny summer day, we run along the road where green rice fields dance in the wind to our grandmother's house.
At my grandmother's house, there is a 'frog pool' every summer.
As soon as you arrive, quickly change into your swimsuit.
After warming up to the "Frog" song, we're ready to hit the pool! Once the water play begins, we'll shoot water bombs and dive in.
Slide down the slide, jump into the water, dive underwater and move your arms and legs like a frog.
When you're having fun, your stomach starts growling.
During break time, you can taste all kinds of summer vegetables and fruits.
First, we make juice by grinding the fresh tomatoes grown in the garden.
Corn that has ripened well in the summer sun is so chewy when steamed that you can eat ten of them.
Blueberries are delicious in a variety of ways, from shakes and ice cream to jam and yogurt, and watermelon, a summer must-have, is also delicious.
After eating to your heart's content, lie down on the hot kimchi pot and rest.
Then, your shivering body will become warm.


The frog pool is a fun playground to beat the summer heat.
The whole family and neighbors gather at the frog pool and fill the day with fun.
In it, the child smiles happily and says:
“The frog pool will be open all summer.
“Would you like to come with me tomorrow?” Feel the summer scenery and the love and laughter of family at “Frog Pool,” which vividly captures the cool water that will make you forget the summer heat and the sweet taste of ripe summer fruits.


A warm playground where love for neighbors and family overflows

As soon as the frog pool door opens, it is bustling with people from all over the neighborhood.
The grandmother next door, the grandfather behind, the uncle and aunt across the street, and even the older sister and brother in the house across the street.
Here, everyone is like a child, making noise, playing mischievously, and laughing heartily.
Even the timid old lady with white hair holds her grandfather's hand and laughs while practicing swimming.
The uncle and aunt are just mischievous, splashing water at each other and playing around.
Anyone who sees the grandfather shouting 'Let's go!' while going down the slide looks like a pure and innocent child.
In this way, the author's warm heart for neighbors and family can be felt in the sight of children and adults all playing together happily and sharing delicious food without any boundaries.


As the summer sun sets and the sky turns crimson, the pool is already closed and the child, having played to his heart's content, falls asleep.
Even the puppy I was playing with fell asleep and snored.
In the yard, you can see traces of a good game: a small pool, a hose connected to a water supply, and an old man sitting next to it.
The very beginning of the book shows a scene with a grandfather spraying water with a hose, and we learn that the frog pool is actually a summer playground that the grandfather created for his family.
In a pool built with love for family, children laugh with their neighbors, feel nature and the seasons with their whole body, and create unforgettable summer days.
The true charm of the Frog Pool is that it is a space where love for neighbors and family naturally springs forth.


Fresh summer food, garden crops, are vividly depicted.

In summer, the vegetables and fruits in the garden ripen well under the hot sunlight.
《Frog Pool》 is a witty and imaginative pool play using summer crops as the theme.
The large, broad petals of the pumpkin flower make a refreshing water bomb, and the long, thin cucumber vines make a great diving line to hang from and jump from.
Long, wide corn leaves become slides, and plump, unhusked corn transforms into a motorcycle that can withstand a splash in water.
If you look closely at each piece, you can see that the play equipment was designed by observing the shape and growth of plants and then adding imagination based on their characteristics.


The book is also filled with fruits commonly found in summer, such as tomatoes, corn, blueberries, and watermelon.
By showing children the natural appearance of garden crops growing under the sun, they can feel nature and life.
In addition to the refreshing feeling of enjoying a cool summer, you can develop an affection for food grown in nature and develop ecological sensitivity.
