Fork in the Road
 |
Description
Book Introduction
A beautiful picture book that compares life to a road.
"Two Roads Cross" is a picture book by the famous Spanish author Raúl Nieto Guridi, which won the "Best Picture Book Award" selected by the Madrid Booksellers' Association in 2014, and also won the Excellence Award in the fiction category at the "Bologna International Children's Book Fair" in 2018.
The painting, beautifully and sensually expressed with just the contrast of the two colors, feels like looking at a work of art, and the concise yet short text that compares life to a road feels like reading a poem.
Unlike Spanish picture books, Korean picture books include text only on the last page, allowing readers to feel the deep resonance of the text once again.
When you open the book, the story begins with two people leaving their homes along different paths.
The two of them walk along a road that is sometimes fast, sometimes slow, or as dark as night.
Sometimes you encounter obstacles.
They pause to ponder, or jump over obstacles, each continuing on their own path.
Where will that road lead to? "The Fork in the Road" tells us that all the paths they have taken are processes that enrich our lives.

Publisher's Review
To everyone walking down the road right now,
I hope the road ahead will be dazzling
Picture books that are great for gifting
"Two Forks in the Road" is a warm picture book that compares life to a road, and encourages and warmly embraces all those who walk the road of life.
As we go through life, we face many challenges and crises.
Some people say that we should just bravely go through all of that.
But "Two Roads" doesn't say that everything is wrong or incorrect, even if you sometimes look away, take a break, or turn back.
It's okay, it's okay, it gives us the comfort we need.
To someone you love, to someone starting a new journey, to someone you want to support, to someone you want to comfort… … Express your heart by giving this book to everyone who is walking this path right now.
It will reach you with a special emotion that is more touching than a hundred words.
A more beautiful road to walk together
There are two people in 『The Fork in the Road』.
A woman and a man, they start from different houses.
The paths they walk also continue to the left and right pages, and do not go beyond the gap between them.
At one point, the hat the man was wearing flies away in the wind.
Then, the roads that had been running parallel intersect, and before they knew it, the two were walking together.
The last page shows the same two houses that first appeared, but if you look closely, they are different from the first picture.
The door is open only on one side of the house, and in front of that house is a man's hat.
Everyone is weak and imperfect.
There is at least one thing that is lacking.
So people live together and form relationships with many people.
We meet people with many different names: friends, colleagues, family, and loved ones.
These encounters happen in moments of chance, like a hat blowing away in the wind.
And those chance encounters bring us happiness, courage, and comfort at every moment of life.
Isn't life more beautiful and splendid because we walk it with those we love, not alone?
I hope the road ahead will be dazzling
