<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"First published in Korea as [Wi ræul pwayo!] (LOOK UP!) in 2014 by Hyeonamsa Publishing Co., Ltd., Seoul."--Colophon.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A nearly wordless story about compassion, friendship, and perspective. </b> <p/>High on a balcony, a girl watches the world-- passersby hurrying along, carrying umbrellas in the rain, riding bikes and walking dogs. She wishes that someone-- anyone!-- would look up and notice her. Finally, one day, a boy does. Realizing she can't see anything but the tops of people's heads, he lays flat on the pavement. . . and then another person does. . . . and another. The girl smiles, and color begins to brighten her gray world-- as does her newfound friendship. <p/>With spare, simple text and striking black-and-white illustrations depicting the girl's bird's-eye-view of the world, Look Up! is a striking, emotional story about the incredible impact of simple kindnesses and the unexpected joy of looking at the world a new way. <p/><b>A Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>* The illustrations' style is loose and unfinished . . . nicely balancing the high concept. Conceptually sophisticated; especially inviting for young artists ready to explore new visual angles.--<b><i>Kirkus Reviews, </i>Starred Review</b> <p/>Often, deceptively simple picturebooks are the most profound. Such is the case with <i>Look Up!</i>, which portrays a girl looking down from her balcony onto the sidewalk below, hoping someone will look up and acknowledge her. . . . Through visually striking illustrations and spare text, <i>Look Up! </i>offers a story of compassion and hope sure to inspire acts of kindness.--<b><i>Language Arts Magazine</i></b> <p/>Jung's spare, scratchy black-and-white drawings depict the simple scenes with little embellishment; the introduction of color at the very end, including a green sprout in a pot on the balcony, subtly signals the richness that comes when our daily lives intersect.--<i><b>The Horn Book Magazine</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Hospitalized as a child, Jung Jin-Ho found friendship and companionship in his books. Born in Daegu, Korea, he currently lives in Seoul.
