“Birds have their own ways.” - Jennifer Ackerman

Sparrows are often remembered only for their chirping sounds, but in the evening they gather under trees and sing loudly with their friends.
Even when swallows sit on power lines, they always keep a certain distance of 15 centimeters.
Magpies may seem like thieves who steal and hide shiny objects, but they are also extremely loving and loyal to their lifelong mates.

The cuckoo's ruthless strategy of secretly laying its eggs in someone else's nest and pushing the other chicks out as soon as they hatch, the cleverness of the carrion crow that cracks walnuts under the wheels of a car to eat them, the special bathing method of the blue tit that disinfects its body with ant acid, the nightingale that sings all night, the jay that buries acorns to plant trees in the forest, the kingfisher that hunts dozens of fish a day, the kestrel hovering in the air targeting field mice, the crow that glides across rooftops as if skiing, the black thrush that fights by pulling earthworms, the yellow wagtail that walks along the riverside with its elegant tail wagging, and so on...

"The Names of Birds" is a book that captures the unique personalities and unique lifestyles of 37 birds, from the familiar birds that are part of our lives to the unfamiliar and mysterious ones.
It conveys the joy of getting to know and understand birds, starting with observing their feet, beaks, and feathers, and moving on to their songs, habits, and personalities.
Beyond a simple guidebook, this is a nature communion guide that allows us to take a closer look at the world of birds we often pass by without a second thought and get closer to them.
It's a perfect blend of poetic text, useful information, and unique Matisse-inspired illustrations.


This book tells stories by calling out the names of birds.
The names of birds contain information about their ecology, history, and interesting stories.
Perhaps it was the desire to capture the image of a bird living freely in nature that led to the creation of such a long and beautiful book.
We invite you closer to the world of birds, which will make you feel good without you even realizing it.

“As I opened the bookshelf, colorful birds came to me like the wind and shook my heart.
A yellow wagtail gracefully wagging its tail as it strolls along the riverbank, a hoopoe protecting itself with its scent in its nest, and even a kingfisher skimming over the river like a blue arrow… … .
Above all, while reading this book, I spent more time looking up at the sky, and as I occasionally listened to the small sounds of birds, I felt the joy of seeing the scenery change every day.
“This is a book I would highly recommend to anyone who loves birds, as well as anyone who wants to get closer to nature in their tough daily lives.” - Hwa-hyeon, Jeju Picture Book Reading Group
