About This Book
A special adventure of a talking ship called "Queen of the Sea," a nameless bear, and a young girl
Queen of the Sea is the story of small, shabby, and different beings—overlooked by the world—who find one another, lean on each other, and reclaim their true names. A bear born unusually small and scrawny; a girl from a wealthy family who was never called by name, only "hey, you"; and a battered old ship no one wants to board. What these three share is simple: no one has ever called them by their real names. Yet they refuse to stay stuck in that place—instead, they grow together, joyfully, side by side.
Though this book takes the form of an illustrated story, at its heart lies a profound question that knows no age: "What name do I live by?" As the three characters meet and delight in giving each other true names, younger readers will find a tale of friendship and adventure, while adult readers will discover a meditation on what it means to be recognized for who you truly are.
The rhythmic prose distinctive to author Yun Yeo-rim meets the illustrations of Lee So-young, resulting in a picture book that is as wonderful read aloud as it is savored in quiet rereading. Following Uncle Elephant, this is Yun Yeo-rim's second masterful work from Sagwajaem Rong Rong Press.
