The Gift

Author and illustrator: Jii & Nikos Park Trepkas

A vibrant mix of Korean folk art and pop art brings to life a traditional fable about gratitude and appreciating the true beauty of life. The legendary Dokkaebi grants a poor painter his heart’s desire, but the painter soon learns that fame and riches don’t equal a perfect life. Themes of collectivism, love, and reflection shine through this emotive Korean picture book, featuring Own Voice illustrations.
