\n
\n CONNECTING STORIES\n <\/div>\n
\n Stories shared with the warmth
\n of a grandmother telling a tale.\n <\/div>\n

\n For generations, people learned about the world through stories.
\n Stories helped them remember the seasons, understand their communities,
\n and pass wisdom from one generation to the next.\n <\/p>\n

\n Passed from one person to another, many of these stories
\n have remained with us through centuries of change.\n <\/p>\n

\n IYAGI-GYEOL<\/strong> follows those enduring threads
\n and retells them in ways that children, families, and curious readers
\n around the world can enjoy today.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n
