I was browsing in the Curious George bookstore in Harvard Square when this book called out to me.  The story is sweet and simple, about a young child trying to find Mama.  The smoky hued illustrations depict a Korean town circa 1938.  Written in both Korean and English, I bought it as a gift for a young Korean American friend of mine but I think its quite suitable as a gift for anyone of any age who enjoys being transported by words and images to a different world.
