Elly's Hanbok

A Bilingual Picture Book in Korean and English Celebrating Korean Culture

Meet Elly, a happy little girl who loves to be silly and copy everything her mom does. One day, she receives a special surprise-a traditional Korean outfit called a hanbok. She's thrilled at first, until she notices that her mom's hanbok looks completely different.

"Mommy, why is your hanbok purple and mine so colorful?"

"엄마, 왜 엄마 한복은 보라색이고 제 한복은 이렇게 알록달록해요?"

Through a heartfelt moment with her mom, Elly discovers the special meaning behind the colorful stripes in her saekdong hanbok-and learns to love it.

Written in both Korean and English, Elly's Hanbok: Best Wishes in Every Color is a warm and gentle introduction to Korean culture, family love, and the wishes woven into every stripe.

Perfect for bilingual families, classrooms, and readers exploring Korean heritage and language.
