About this ebook

By telling a fun story about a little girl named Judy, this multicultural children's book is a great introduction to Korean culture and festivals.

When Judy and her parents spent a year in Korea, she had a wonderful time. Every new moon her friends Sookie and Kim introduced Judy to another of Korea’s many traditional festivals and customs. There were so many that Judy quite rightly said: There are more fun days for children in Korea than in any other country.”

You can read about the day specially reserved for making kimchi pickles, the snowman who can talk Korean and English, and the summer moon when the children have fun at a yudu picnic party by the river.

The delightful illustrations show you the many adventures Judy has with her new friends.

    Judy and the Moons of Korea - Audrey McKim

    September: The Eighth Moon

    I saw them a few minutes ago. It looked as if they were getting ready for a party. Judy flattened her nose against the window pane. But even if I get to know them, I'll never know what they're talking about.

    Mr. Gray, who had come to Korea to help farmers grow bigger and better crops, poked his head around a sliding door.

    Everybody is getting ready for the Harvest Festival, he told Judy. It's something like our Thanksgiving back home, but here they are ahead of us. September is the eighth month-or moon-as the Koreans call it. Every moon has some fun in it for the kids. Wait and see.

    But Judy had no time to answer. At that moment she saw their neighbor, Mrs. Song, coming in at the gate with Young Sookie and Kim.

    When Judy opened the door, the visitors grinned shyly, and Kim held out a present.

    Oh, thank you! said Judy. Look, Mother, it's a jack-o'-lantern, the kind we have on Halloween, but this one is made from a turnip!

    Mr. Gray, who already knew Mrs. Song, introduced her to his wife. Then he introduced the children. Mrs. Song spoke to him in Korean.

    Judy, said Mr. Gray, our neighbors want you to go with them to celebrate the Harvest Festival. Want to?

    Oh yes! Judy carefully put the lantern on the hall table. She smiled at
