Based on the authors' family history, this story set in Japanese-occupied Korea portrays an unlikely friendship between a hungry child and an old farmer.
Life in 1941 Korea is difficult for Kwan and his family. Under Japanese occupation, food is scarce. Though he's only a child, Kwan is desperate to help his family, so he asks Mr. Suka, a Japanese farmer, for a job. Mr. Suka teaches Kwan how to care for a herd of goats, and soon what began as an act of kindness becomes a genuine friendship that brings them both joy.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
