Career[edit]
Yoon Mi-sook received Ragazzi Award Special Mentions in the Fiction category at the Bologna International Children's Book Fair for Red Bean Porridge Granny and the Tiger in 2004 and The Moon over the Apple Orchard in 2019.[5] In The Moon over the Apple Orchard, her illustrations accompany the writings of Kwon Jeong-saeng, a Korean writer. The Ragazzi Award jury commented on her work as follows. "We were delighted by the affecting atmosphere of this picture book, which depicts everyday life in a Rural Community. The mixed-media illustrations show loving gestures, hardship, poverty, disease, and care for the elderly. In detailed scenes of the natural landscape and agricultural work, the illustrations show the richness and fragility of life."[6] In addition, she has created numerous other picture books, including The Tale of the White Mouse, The Hare and the Tortoise, and Little Boat Floats.[4]
