My Sweet Little One

He was the friend who loved me first.His name was Gureumi — a small white Maltese, a little puff of cotton with black eyes that always found mine. He came to me when I was young and had almost nothing to give, and he stayed by my side through my twenties and thirties, through every heartbreak and every long, hard day. I wasn't always the person he deserved. He loved me anyway.This is the story of that love, and of the quiet space he left behind when he was gone — told in soft words and softer pictures, in both Korean and English. It is a true story: a thank-you, a long-overdue I'm sorry, and the small hope that one day, on the dogs' star, he will know me again.A dual-language (Korean–English) picture book about loving a little dog, letting him go, and carrying him with you always — for anyone who has ever had to say goodbye to a companion animal.The companion song "e;My Sweet Little One / 나의 작은 구름이"e; — an original song by the author, in both Korean and English — is out now on all major streaming platforms.
