The entire process of translation, editing, and design has been newly refined, with Professor Jieun Kiaer, a linguist at Oxford University, and English-language experts participating in the translation and review to delicately preserve the original rhythm and emotional tone.

In addition, English and Korean audiobooks are available separately on audiobook platforms, offering an expanded reading experience that combines both reading and listening.

This is the English edition of Baek Heena’s picture book “Strange Guest.” It tells the story of a peculiar child named Cheon Dalrok—white and round like a rice cake—who arrives riding a cloud at the home of two siblings on a rainy afternoon.

As the siblings spend a strange yet special day caring for the mischievous baby goblin Dalrok, they gradually open their hearts and rediscover their affection and sibling bond. Set in Baek Heena’s unique world where sky and earth, reality and fantasy meet, readers are invited to fall for Dalrok’s quirky and lovable charm—unpredictable like goblin weather, yet soft and sweet like melting pink cotton candy.
