Coming in September: Late Today by Jungyoon Huh
On a rainy morning in Seoul, a black kitten dashes between cars traveling on the Seogang Bridge, filled with busy with people determined not to be late. Will anyone stop to help the kitten mewing amongst the frustrated honks and beeps?
Late Today by Jungyoon Huh is a story of kindness, compassion, and a reminder to shift your focus from the busyness of life. A simple yet powerful message is conveyed throughout the book’s pages. Late Today is one of those books that proves a succinct story can clearly communicate deep emotions to its reader.
The atmospheric artwork by Myungae Lee is just as powerful as the text. It captures the darkness of the cloud-filled sky, the jam-packed bridge filled with morning commuters, the driving rain, and the skittish black kitten darting in and out of traffic seeking shelter. I loved how the artist chose a very different version of the same scene to end the book, conveying an all is well message.
If you’re looking to share a story of kindness and compassion with your youngster, Late Today is a superb choice.
