The Tailor Shop at the Intersection by Ahn Jaesun is a picture book about three generations of tailors and the small shop they keep in a rapidly changing Seoul. When Deokgu first o pens his doors, the city is skeptical of his modern styles, but he stays devoted to his craft, and in time the shop becomes a fixture of the neighbourhood. It is a story about family and staying true to what you make, and quietly also about what gets lost when a city changes fast around the people in it. Ahn's award-winning illustrations carry both the warmth and the weight of that. Translated from the Korean by Sora Kim-Russell. HardcoverAges 4–12 Show more
