(2) K-3 Translated by Mi Hyun Kim. This story unfolds through a consistent, singular bird's-eye perspective. Passersby in a cobblestone courtyard take no notice of a girl in a wheelchair on a balcony repeatedly calling, "Look up!"--until one boy lies down, the better to communicate face to face. Jin-Ho's spare, scratchy black-and-white drawings depict the simple scenes with little embellishment; introducing color subtly signals the richness when lives intersect.
