Discover the beauty of Korea through the changing seasons. From the buzzing heat of summer to the quiet magic of falling snow, The Four Seasons of Korea invites young readers on a gentle journey through a year in Korea, seen through the curious and joyful eyes of a child.
Sip cool, sweet sikhye on a hot summer day as cicadas hum in the trees. Dress in a colorful hanbok and crunch through golden leaves in the crisp autumn air. Roll snowmen, wrap up warm, and enjoy soft, roasted sweet potatoes on chilly winter evenings. Then feel the world come alive again in spring, flying kites beneath blue skies and watching delicate cherry blossoms drift gently in the breeze.
Along the way, children will experience the sights, sounds, and simple joys of everyday life-family meals, seasonal traditions, outdoor play, and quiet moments of wonder that make each season special. From splashing in summer rain to sharing warm food on a cold night, every page captures the rhythm and beauty of life throughout the year.
Told in simple, rhythmic language perfect for reading aloud, and brought to life with soft, vibrant watercolor illustrations, this heartwarming picture book celebrates connection-to nature, to family, and to cultural traditions passed down through generations.
Perfect for:
- Children ages 3-8
- Families exploring Korean culture and traditions

A warm and joyful celebration of Korea's four seasons-and the small, meaningful moments that make them unforgettable.
