Epilogue

Thump thump thump thump!
A true first-grade story filled with children's hearts

Eight-year-old children who have graduated from kindergarten and are starting their full-fledged 'school life' are excited by everything new and exciting, and are curious, but also have many worries.
"Well done!" I want to smile brightly like the kid in the stamp, but school life isn't as easy as I thought, with new classmates, dictation tests, milk, going to the bathroom alone, and eating lunch without being a picky eater.

While lovingly looking at children who hesitate, artist Kim Hae-seon has been consistently serializing her work in Grafolio with the title, “It’s Okay Not to Do Well!”
The author approaches the child with the mindset of stamping the child with the words, “It’s okay if you don’t do well.”
Kim Hae-seon's records, which vividly portray the diverse emotions children face as they adapt to new environments, including curiosity, fear, worry, joy, and gratitude, are incredibly precious and meaningful.


Welcome to 'Elementary School Life'
Welcome, is this your first time at elementary school?

Every year, as the school admissions season approaches, several books for first graders are published.
While the majority of books offer practical help for first-time students and everyday life, creative works that explore the perspectives of students and teachers in an interesting way also stand out.
When we see that it not only touches the hearts of children but also creates enough empathy for adult readers, we come to think that the meaning of 'first grade' is that special in our lives.
The first step into social life begins at the age of eight, in the first grade of elementary school, once in a lifetime.

The important thing to remember is that admission isn't everything.
After about a month of entering school, you will gradually relax and become accustomed to school life.
This is when the 'real first year' begins.
I thought it was okay, but it wasn't. I thought it was easy, but it was hard. I thought I could do it, but difficult things keep coming up one after another.
As they encounter new experiences every day, eight-year-old children grow up quickly and vigorously throughout the spring, summer, fall, and winter.

"I'm Eight Years Old, Going to School" is a picture book that allows readers to empathize with and look into the big and small moments of everyday life experienced as they enter elementary school.
This work gives the courage and strength to live a courageous and strong life as a struggling first grader.
It will be a book that conveys empathy to children and love to parents.
