A story of growth told by "A Good Tangerine Because It's a Tangerine"

In Jeju, famous for its abundance of tangerines, you can easily see tangerines growing.
Tangerines are not yellow from the beginning.
Born as a white tangerine blossom.
But the color of the stamen hidden inside is yellow.
Green fruit that forms where white flowers once were, diligently absorbs rain and receives hot sunlight, and eventually turns into sweet and sour yellow tangerines.
Through the story told directly by the yellow tangerines, you can learn about the ecology of tangerines and the time it takes for them to grow.

At first, Gyuri is indifferent about the family trip, but as she sings and talks with Gyul, she begins to open up.
And then I ask what I'm really curious about.
“You like it because you’re a tangerine?” Hearing Tangerine’s sincere answer, Gyuri begins to think about herself.
As Gyuri's heart turns yellow like a tangerine, the hearts of her family also brighten.
Before going on a family trip to Jeju or when you want to discover something new in Jeju, read "Singing with Tangerines" with your family.
After reading this, you will like Jeju much more.
