A story about sacrifice, conflict, and friendship among children with disabilities. What would it feel like for children with disabilities to be forced to sacrifice and volunteer? Sacrifice and volunteerism should come naturally from within, not from someone else's orders.
"The Boy Who Carries the Bag" is a creative children's story for young children that makes them think about the suffering that not only children with disabilities but also their friends may experience.


The author of this article, Go Jeong-wook, has garnered sympathy from many readers by writing works about people with disabilities, such as “Our Very Special Brother” and “Guide Dog Tansil.”
The author is a grade 1 polio patient who suffered from polio as a child and cannot use both legs.
However, he broke the prejudice of those who looked down on people with disabilities and went to a regular school and studied like everyone else, received a doctorate in literature from Sungkyunkwan University, and debuted as a novelist.


More confident and confident than anyone else, Goh Jeong-wook has many stories to tell to people with disabilities and those around them.
The reason we insist on only fairy tales about disabilities is because we believe that if children, who know how to see people with disabilities for who they are, take an interest in them and gradually change their perceptions, we can create a better world, unlike adults who are full of prejudice.

"The Boy Who Carries Bags" also deals with disability.
But what is important in this work is the ‘friend of the disabled person.’
While most works dealing with disability so far have focused on the 'suffering of the disabled,' this work attempts to change the perspective by focusing more on the 'suffering of those around them.'
The main axis of the work is the big and small incidents that occur between Young-taek, who is bullied by other children because of his disability, and Seok-woo, who is teased for carrying Young-taek's bag, and the resulting conflicts between them.
The warm picture here adds depth to the work.


Seok-woo, who walks to and from school carrying two bags, could be a child around us or could be me as a child.
It is a warm work that reminds us that true friendship only comes when we acknowledge and accept each other as they are, just as a true friendship developed between Seok-woo and Yeong-taek when they no longer felt like strangers.
