Book Introduction
Windy Poetry Book Vol. 6.
This is the 6th series of poetry books that contain stories and a story about a child who has moved and is trying to adapt to an unfamiliar neighborhood.
During spring break before the new school year began, Jeong-woo moved to a new neighborhood.
Jeong-woo didn't like the unfamiliar neighborhood where he didn't know anyone and the new house that wasn't yet tidy.
So, when my old friends ask me on KakaoTalk what my neighborhood is like, I reply that it's a strange neighborhood with a lot of bad things.
Jeong-woo comes out at the urging of his friends to send him photos of the neighborhood.
As I was walking along, I found a green chair on the hill and sat down.
But after a while, an old woman comes out from the junk shop behind where Jeong-woo is sitting and sits next to him.
Then, he tells Jeong-woo, who has just moved in, all the little stories of the neighborhood.
Jeong-woo feels a little more familiar with the neighborhood thanks to his grandmother's story.
Will Jeong-woo be able to adapt well to his new neighborhood?

Into the book
Feed the cat at the persimmon tree house here
The flower shop over there is scary just looking at how big the dog is.
The owner of the pork belly restaurant around the corner is very kind.
The snack shop below closed down because the lady got hurt.
The hardware store owner's grandson is in the 4th grade and is good at soccer.

I only knew one person
I got to know everyone in the neighborhood.

---From "What I learned from my grandmother"

Until yesterday
The hill road that only hurt my legs

Because I run with Kyungjun
It was a fun road

I keep wanting to go
It became a new path
---From "Road"

Publisher's Review
Even a little attention can bring a big smile.

A small child is standing in front of a crosswalk.
Look around.
People are constantly moving around in a hurry, passing the child by.
Then, an old woman pays attention to the child and asks.
“Why are you alone?” the child bursts into tears at his grandmother’s question.
I lost my mother.
Thanks to the grandmother's little attention, the child finds his mother safely.
It's something that can happen anytime, anywhere.
What would have happened to the child if no one had paid attention at that time?

Jung-woo from 'Starry Neighborhood' has moved to an unfamiliar neighborhood and is having trouble adjusting.
Next to Jeong-woo, an old woman who knows the neighborhood well appears.
Grandma paid attention to the new child, Jeong-woo.
In just a few words, you would have known that Jeong-woo had moved in, and you would have also sensed that he was unfamiliar and had trouble adjusting.
Grandma tells Jeong-woo stories about the neighborhood in a gentle voice.
If you pay attention, I'll tell you that it's a really fun place.
As the grandmother's interest is conveyed to Jeong-woo, Jeong-woo soon begins to look at the new neighborhood with a different perspective.

"Starry Neighborhood" shows us, through Jeong-woo, who is thrust into an unfamiliar environment, how powerful our small attention can be.
It makes me realize that not only the other person but also myself can be happy.


One friend makes the whole world happy

In "Starry Neighborhood," Jeong-woo is dissatisfied with his new neighborhood.
I have no friends to play with, the houses are shabby, and the steep hills are difficult and I just hate them.
A neighborhood that looks even worse than the previous neighborhood, a neighborhood with all sorts of different appearances.
But then, a new friend, Kyung-jun, appears in front of the gloomy Jeong-woo.
Even though he only made one friend, Jungwoo somehow doesn't hate the same neighborhood scenery as he did yesterday.
No, it looks a little better.


What does a friend mean? In "Starry Neighborhood," Jeong-woo becomes separated from his longtime friends.
As Jeong-woo spends his days alone and lonely, his old friends often ask about his news and are curious about the neighborhood he has moved to.
They even ask you to take a picture and show it to them.
Thanks to the kindness of these friends, Jeong-woo is able to wander around the neighborhood, meet the grandmother, and make new friends.
And soon, you will adapt to the unfamiliar neighborhood and find joy again.


『Starry Neighborhood』 shows the value and importance of friends.
I remind readers that the reason I can live happily in this world is because of the friends who laugh with me right now.
It makes me feel that I need to cherish my friends and try to be a good friend myself.


Various neighborhoods you'll want to visit, depicted in poetry and pictures

『Starry Village』 is a village that surrounds a small hill.
Author Lee Myo-shin conveys the atmosphere of various villages to readers through poems such as “Magpie House,” “Our Snack,” and “The Price of Smell.”
Readers can enjoy exploring and seeing new neighborhoods with Jeong-woo while reading the poem.
Additionally, artist Jeon Geum-ja clearly showed the differences between apartments and various neighborhoods through her paintings.
Unlike apartment complexes where the power lines are laid underground, in various neighborhoods, power lines are tangled in a tangled and complex manner on utility poles.
Through these picturesque landscapes, readers can better understand Jeong-woo's feelings as he moves to various neighborhoods.


『Starry Neighborhood』 is composed of Jeong-woo talking to his friends via KakaoTalk between poems.
This structure, which is like looking into your friends' KakaoTalk messages, gives the reader the fun of observing Jeong-woo's feelings in real time.
In addition, it makes it easier to understand the intention behind the poem, making it even more enjoyable to read.
