Geoje’s Yundolseom in Im Ju-yeong’s picture book The Waves Will Pass
Im Ju-yeong’s Korean-language picture book 파도는 지나갈 거야, rendered here as The Waves Will Pass, was released September 20. Its main character is a small fragment of rock from a crevice on Geoje’s Yundolseom. This account draws on the publisher’s description and cover.
A stone carried off by a storm
In the publisher’s outline, a storm carries the stone away from its familiar place. Other stones come from the waters off Jangmok and from Jisimdo, giving each a different starting point within Geoje.
Looking up the place names on a map ties the sea on the cover to real locations.
Questions for reading together
Readers can ask what the stone might miss, and whether the same waves feel different to each stone. These are the editors’ suggested prompts, not quotations from the book.
They can open a conversation about unfamiliar surroundings without requiring anyone to share a personal experience.
The cover and book details
The blue cover places large Korean lettering above the sea and rounded stones. Korean learners could begin with 파도, “wave,” and 지나가다, “to pass.”
The publisher lists a 40-page, 210 × 210 mm hardcover at a cover price of ₩15,000, published September 20, 2026; ISBN 9791138867252. The link below leads to the book description and retailers. The English title is an editorial translation, not a verified English edition.
