Sumi's First Day of School Ever

(2) PS Illustrated by Joung Un Kim & Joung Un Kim. Sumi has only just learned her first English words this morning ("Hello, what is your name?" and "My name is Sumi"). But thanks to a nice teacher, Sumi begins to negotiate her new environment. With a gentle but realistic hand, Pak takes Sumi on her first steps from understandable trepidation toward a sense of ease in this new place. Illustrator Kim depicts Sumi in large, soft-edged swatches of confidently bright colors.
