A holiday picture book cherished across generations, this story follows five-year-old Sol’s perspective as she experiences Chuseok with her family and neighbors. From the excitement of the journey back to her hometown to making songpyeon (half-moon rice cakes), performing ancestral rites, and joining a village festival filled with the lively sounds of traditional farm band music, the book brings to life the fading warmth and spirit of Korea’s traditional holidays.
Created with traditional hanji paper, calligraphy brushes, and pigments used in Korean painting, the illustrations resemble a modern-day genre painting, capturing the everyday life and emotions of an era. In celebration of its 30th anniversary, this commemorative edition features a new cover and exposed binding, once again conveying the meaning of spending the holidays together as a family.
세대를 이어 사랑받아 온 명절 그림책으로, 다섯 살 솔이의 시선을 따라 추석을 맞은 가족과 이웃의 풍경을 그려낸다. 귀성길의 설렘부터 송편 빚기와 차례, 농악이 울리는 마을 잔치까지 사라져가는 명절의 정서가 살아난다.
전통 한지와 모필, 한국화 안료로 완성한 그림은 현대판 풍속화처럼 한 시대의 생활과 감정을 기록한다. 출간 30주년을 맞아 새 표지와 노출 제본으로 선보이는 기념판으로, 가족과 함께하는 명절의 의미를 다시 전한다.
