K Is for Korea offers young readers a composite picture comprised of the customs, religions, and cultures — both ancient and modern — that make up this fascinating country. As with each of the books in the series, this one is written by a knowledgeable local. Author Hyechong Cheung carefully selects words starting with each letter of the alphabet to focus on both city and country life, sampling everything from regional food and drink to music and art. Prodeepta Das helps bring each to life with an evocative photograph.
