Into the book
“Fairy tales calm and soothe the mind that is endlessly afraid and anxious about hurting a child or being hurt by a child.
Learn, empathize, and dream of a better life by listening to the voices of fairy tale characters.
I believe that the time I spent reading books like that will be like a firefly light that will help my child to avoid getting lost in the future.
I hope this book will help you find that path more easily.”
---p.9

“The children in Lindgren’s fairy tales have distinct movements of body and mind, like Lota.
You grow by facing challenges head-on and speaking out for yourself, without being bound by anyone's expectations or notions.
There are days when I feel overwhelmed by the energy of children bursting out in all directions, and I desperately want to know the invisible heart of a child.
“On stuffy days like this, I take out Lindgren’s fairy tales and read them.”
---p.20

“But in a world overflowing with things more interesting than books, turning a thin page is often harder than rolling a heavy rock.
If I can add even a little bit of strength to turning the pages, I want to invite you into the world of reading books, whether it's movies, games, or whatever.
If your child has difficulty reading books on his or her own, read to him or her.
If you want your child to read, whether he or she is in first grade or sixth grade, read together.
The time accumulated in this way will definitely return in some form.
Whether it's reading comprehension, grades, or the bond that keeps you connected to your child, the time spent reading together leaves a warm, deep mark on the bottom of your heart."
---p.44

“Fairy tales don’t just deal with simple and beautiful worlds.
A fairy tale is a story that has no taboos or impossibilities and has the power to help people grow.
Appreciation is the child's job.
After reading a book, a seed is planted in the children's minds.
The seed will grow someday and comfort the child's lonely feelings while we sleep.
“That is the power of story.”
---p.66

“There is a saying that I have been writing to my classmates since I first started.
“No matter where you are or what you do, I will always support you.” I hope that by getting to know each other’s differences, even if you get hurt or fail, there will always be someone who will hug you when you return.
Children in fairy tales are comforted by someone, but children in reality need to be hugged by the adults who read this article.
“Even if the child leaves my arms, I will hold them tightly and let them fly away.”
---p.131

“Reading is not just ‘reading’ letters.
It allows me to encounter and examine my unconscious through each of my experiences.
In the voice of a child, it makes me look back on my lost days.
“When I come across a fun fairy tale that opens children’s hearts, my mouth starts to water.”
---p.219

“Stopping a child’s questions or ignoring their fears won’t make them go away.
It just swells up bigger and waits to burst.
That is truly terrifying.
There may be better ways to comfort and heal, but what I love and am good at is reading books together and sharing the voices hidden between the lines.
“Children don’t hesitate to share their innermost feelings when they stumble over a point while reading a book.”
---p.252

“I always respect that it’s not your taste.
Because I shouldn't force others to do what I like.
It doesn't have to be this book, as long as it reminds me of the joy of reading, it doesn't matter.
When lending or recommending a book, tell them that they can read it any time and put it down if it's not fun.
Then, one day, while listening to my friends' stories, I thought, 'Huh? That book is really that interesting? I stopped reading it.
There will come a day when you think, ‘Should I read it again?’
For the children and adults who only read mystery novels somewhere, and for those who are just starting to dip their toes into mystery fairy tales, I'm sharing the books I pulled from the bookshelf that day."
---p.300

“A good book digs deep into your mind while you read it and continues to move you even after you finish it.
In particular, genre fairy tales are closely linked to individual tastes and persistently leave traces in the reader's subconscious.
Reading books just for fun is also great.
However, I hope that reading books will provide opportunities for change and growth, so I keep looking for better books and sometimes ask questions to the children I read with.
When reading together rather than alone, stagnant thoughts are expanded through questions, making you actively immersed in the book.
In particular, science fiction is a genre that asks about the direction of my choices in a world that I will encounter someday, even if it is not now.
Are you ready to ask the question of choice in your heart?
---p.322

“I would like to write a book that contains the voices of children, looks into their lives, and cares for and heals their wounds.
Any genre is fine as long as you take the time to think and ask questions while reading.
Of course, you have to find a good book that breaks down your inner walls and shows you a new path.”
---p.349

"You have to first feel interested before you can expand your literacy."
A "Hot List" Confirmed in the Classroom by an Elementary School Teacher with 19 Years of Experience


"200 Picture Books Elementary School Students Love" is a book that allows a glimpse into the serious concerns and various thoughts about books of a teacher, a picture book/storybook evangelist, and a mother of two brothers. It introduces picture books broadly into five parts: family, friends, world, genre, series, and graphic novels.


The books featured here are a comprehensive collection of fairy tales that are great to read in a variety of situations, such as when you're disappointed in a close family member, deeply hurt by a broken friendship, excited by the excitement of a romantic relationship, or when you have questions about social issues such as disability, animal rights, and multiculturalism.
We also carefully select and introduce genre fairy tales such as historical fairy tales, horror fairy tales, mystery fairy tales, science fiction, and fantasy that captivate children with their wild imagination.
Not only are there series of fairy tales that children borrow so many times that their spines are worn out, but there are also graphic novels that convey weighty topics in the form of comics.
These books are books that current teachers, who have read books and communicated with children whenever they had time in public education settings, have experienced and confirmed their reactions in the classroom through many trials and errors.


The author gradually expands his perspective beyond family and friends to the outside world, and guides us into the world of fairy tales with warm and honest language.
We're introducing a wealth of books that will make you ask yourself, "What would I do?", books that comfort and heal children's hearts, books that change their thinking, and books that allow them to fully enjoy the joy of reading.
We recommend reading the previous works of writers and illustrators who have produced outstanding works, such as Jin Hyeong-min, Jeon Su-gyeong, Kim Nam-joong, Cheon Hyo-jeong, and Borin.
In addition to bestsellers like "The Long Night" and "Monster Child," we sincerely introduce children's books that encourage children to ask their own questions, such as "Gunsu's Little Sister, Kang Geon-mi" and "Just Betty."


In particular, this book vividly captures the reactions of students who read the book, such as, “Teacher, what if we stop there?” and “You can shorten the break time!” It gives the feeling of watching a real-time glimpse into the moment of communication while reading the book together in the classroom.


The warm comfort of fairy tales and active support
A world of fairy tales that raises questions and broadens thinking


“I believe that the time I spent reading books like that will be like a firefly light that will help my child to avoid getting lost in the future.
I hope this book will help you find that path more easily.”
_ From the text


A good book is for both children and adults.
Books are an invaluable tool for nurturing thought, exploring subtle and delicate emotions, and engaging in profound conversations.
What other tool connects hearts and minds as intimately and closely as a book read together?
The author, who has become a more sincere expert than anyone else in promoting, distributing, and sharing books, says, “I wrote this book with a sincere hope that even just one book would reach someone’s hands (…) so that a book can touch someone’s heart and remain by their side.”
This book is filled with the hope that books will always be around children, that reading will become natural, and that at least one more child will discover the joy of reading.


In this book, the author broadly covers a variety of topics, while simultaneously moving toward the core of the work and connecting fairy tales with 'me' and 'life.'
Affectionate yet warm, with a touch of witty humor.
With many enjoyable elements, including children's honest reactions to the book, the author's unwavering love of books, and a fairytale-like imagination that leads readers into a world beyond their imagination, this book will allow readers newly entering the world of fairy tales to advance into a world of deeper empathy.


If I had to sum up this book in one word, it would be this:
A very useful children's book guide for parents and teachers to keep by their side and refer to whenever needed.
This list of picture books, carefully selected with consideration for students' interests and levels, will undoubtedly serve as a useful reference for parents raising children and teachers working in schools.
At the very end, we've added a Q&A section for readers who may have questions while reading the book. Readers will be able to find answers to questions they may have had while reading the book, including recommended grades, ways to keep reading, rewards for reading, and whether comics are allowed.


Recommendation

“Most of the fond memories that make up who I am today come from the ‘Beloved Class 4’ classroom with teacher Lee Si-nae.
Back then, we read a new fairy tale every day, and our little world expanded a little bit.
Even now, whenever I face a difficult moment, the first thing that comes to mind is the fairy tales that teacher Lee Si-nae read to me.
The faint sentences in my memory have become solid guides, solving problems, patting me on the shoulder, making me angry, or reminding me of things I had forgotten.
The world I created through fairy tales is still warm, and this fact always brings me much comfort.
“It’s really cool and fun to feel like an adult with a ‘favorite children’s book.’”
- Kwon Min-ji (tvN producer, 2006 student)

"Is there anyone who loves fairy tales as much as Mr. Lee Si-nae? I still vividly remember that time, over ten years ago, when I was absorbed in the world of books with him.
Even I, who was a 6th grader back then, and even I, who is now a 6th grade homeroom teacher, still feel the same way.
For a child to experience a fairy tale is like stacking treasures in a treasure chest.
The memories of laughing while reading the book and the experience of crying while offering words of comfort to the main character were all treasures.
Readers will not be alone while reading this book.
I guarantee that this will be a time when you will immerse yourself in the charm of fairy tales with your teacher, a time when you will laugh, cry, and feel pain while reading fairy tales.”
- Bae Ji-yoon (teacher at Yuhyeon Elementary School in Gimpo, student in 2007)
