  • Preparing and enjoying delicious Songpyeon - sweet dumplings that everyone loves to eat on Chuseok (Korea's version of Thanksgiving)
  • Making your own board game to play Yut-Nori - a game of luck and strategy that's played during Seollal, Korea's all-important New Year celebrations
  • Writing simple Korean phrases using the Hangul alphabet, Korea's written language - which is celebrated with its own holiday (Hangul Day)!

In this book, kids will learn about many special Korean celebrations and festivals such as:

  • Dano - the end of the planting season which is full of fun competitions like wrestling and swinging contests
  • Daeboreum - a holiday to celebrate the moon, filled with special dances, twirling fire, lots of walking and, of course, special foods
