Goldilocks and the three bears
"Someone's been sleeping in my bed and she's still there!"

Hello World,

I know I've been absent for long a while but I decided to continue this blog nevertheless.
I tried this piece for IF "sleep".

2. Updates about my published books



I've found "The Truth about Princesses" has been selling in many place including amazon.com
You can preview the inside with google book
There is some editorial review as well. 
Gr 2-4� “ Accounts of dragons, trolls, and princesses inundate the pages of children's literature, and this series cleverly seeks to divulge the � œtruth�  behind the legends. Full-page, colorful illustrations and balanced writing highlight what is an outstanding achievement for young readers. The appearance, history, and behaviors of each subject are presented in an engrossing format that discloses fairy tricks, princess problems, and the trouble with trolls. Through clear, large texts, each title discusses legendary stories ranging from princesses in Sleeping Beauty to the infamous troll of The Three Billy Goats Gruff . These books are sure to gain a positive response. 


 Also I tracked down my other book "The Dog Walker" in the web search and got this post about the book series. My book is the 8th one of the series. I feel pretty achieved since it seems to help many kids to learn English. As I mentioned in this blog before, myself also grew up with this book series to learn English.


Last but not least, this is not about my books but she is the latest publish I made. :D She is my inspiration and motive now, because when I look at this tiny face, I want to be a proud mom that she can brag about.

9. Mindy in Wonderland

Mindy in Wonderland

I made this for my lovely youngest sister Mindy's B-day. Especially she loves Cinnamoroll character from Sanrio which is flying in the sky. The cake looks a bit sloppy but it must taste great.
Mindy and I once promised to go this dreamy wonderland together. I am still chasing the dream. You too, right, Mindy?

Title: "The Dog Walker" ("Go Go Reading" English educational book series)
Art Director: Steve Myhre from English Educational Curriculum International Inc.
Publisher: Yoon's English Academy

I've very enjoyed working on this project and also learned a lot about educational book illustrations. The most pleasant thing was that I've grown up with Yoon's English Academy books for learning English in Korea. Now I am making the book in USA. I might have had some connection with Mr. Yoon in my previous life. :p
I hope children in Korea can get good education with this book! Study hard, kids!

Thanksgiving meal hardship

"It is pretty hard to accept that people eating these big lovely turkey birds every year in Thanksgiving day." Emily said.
-I'm submitting it to the IF 'similar' with hoping this little girl not to find the similarity of her favorite bird and the meal on the table. ;p
