The most difficult subject for elementary school students: social studies.

Social studies is a subject that many children and parents find difficult.
This is because, compared to other subjects, it covers many fields such as geography, history, politics, economics, current affairs, culture, and social phenomena within one topic, so the burden of learning is great.
The content covered in social studies is something we often encounter in our daily lives.
The various social and political issues, economic news, environmental indicators, and history that pour in at every moment are information necessary for living in the present.
It is not a story about a distant future that adults can understand, but is closely related to children's current lives.
Even adults will find social studies easy and fun if they build background knowledge and understand social concepts that they only perceived abstractly through interesting stories.

The "First Social Fairy Tale" series is a truly easy way to learn social phenomena and concepts.

The "First Social Fairy Tales" series features characters representing various social sectors as children's neighbors, providing essential information for children to correctly understand social phenomena and concepts and grow into citizens with sound civic consciousness.

The elementary and middle school years are a very important time to lay the foundation for society.
In Europe, various educational programs are already being implemented to instill civic awareness in children starting from the lower grades.
However, in our country, society is often represented by 'political talk', and it is perceived as a topic that children do not need to know about, while adults expect sharp conflicts of opinion with people who think differently from them.
As this kind of consciousness spread, society became a place for both children and adults, where only those in certain professions fought each other and politicians fought each other.
So, even if I saw something wrong, I just had to let it go without any intention of improving it, as long as it didn't cause me too much harm.

The "First Social Fairy Tales" series teaches children that by learning about the various phenomena, terms, and concepts that occur in our society, society is no longer a complex and difficult subject, but rather encompasses all of our daily activities.


Chiwoo, Minji, and Yewon decide to change the unjust school rules! Will they succeed?
The power of the "fight for rights" as told by the lawyer Yering, who appears as the owner of the secret garden.

The sixth book in the series, "Uncle Yering's Secret Garden," features Yering, transformed into the loving owner of a secret garden in the neighborhood, who talks about the law and our rights.
Mr. Yering tells the children that "all rights are won through struggle," and that when they are treated unfairly or injustice, they should not endure it but fight.

The story of three friends, Chiwoo, Minji, and Yewon, who try to create new rules against unfair school rules, is a story of law that Yering has been advocating for, including legal sentiment and the fight to gain rights.
Here, the values ​​of law and struggle, and the struggle to find rights, as advocated by jurist Rudolf von Jhering, are explained in an easy-to-understand way through comics.
And at the end of the book, the life of Yering, who created a new trend in law, is included to help understand the character.
This book, which teaches the value of 'fighting for rights' that is essential for members of this society, is a social fairy tale that even children who are not familiar with Yering can enjoy reading.
