[Book Review] Fairy Tale Thumbelina by HC Andersen

Sinopsis Thumbelina : 

Guide to early childhood development hidden in masterpiece fairy tales

Thumbelina, born in a flower, goes through many things.

She realizes that she is a flower fairy.

I found my own identity.

Like Thumbelina, children go through many conflicts and anxieties to find a stable identity. Although it is a difficult process, it is also an opportunity for psychological growth. Thumbelina is a story that helps children find their identity.

Fairy Tale Thumbelina : 

There was an old woman who lived alone and lonely. My grandmother always thought it would be nice to have a child. 

One night, a fairy came by and gave the grandmother a flower seed. 

“Plant these flower seeds and grow them well.”

Grandma planted flower seeds in a flower pot and placed them in a sunny window.

I took good care of it, giving it plenty of water every day.

The flower has finally bloomed.

When the grandmother looked closely, she saw a girl sleeping peacefully inside the flower.

The grandmother was very happy to have a beautiful girl.

This child is as big as a thumb, so we should call her Thumbelina.

Thumbelina slept every night in a bed made of walnut shells.

Then one night it happened.

A toad jumped in.

Wow, she’s such a pretty girl. We should marry her to our son.

The toad secretly carried the sleeping Thumbelina.

The next morning, Thumbelina woke up with a surprise. I looked here and there, but there was only water all around, and there was only a bed on top of water lily leaves.

“Grandma, where are you?”

While Thumbelina was sobbing, a creepy-looking toad came running. “Hello! Did you sleep well? We’re getting married today. I’ll come pick you up in a little while.”

Thumbelina was scared and cried. The fish heard the sound and gathered together. 

"Help. I don’t want to marry a toad.”

The fish felt sorry for Thumbelina.

So I cut off the water lily stem with my mouth.

“Goodbye. Please be happy!”

Thumbelina, riding on a lily pad, drifted along with the current. But suddenly a beetle flew out.

Hahaha, she’s a cute girl. I’ll make her my maid. Everyone will be jealous, right?

The scarab took Thumbelina to her friends.

“How are you, my bride? Are you pretty?”

“Egyekye, it only has two legs and no whiskers or antennae.”

Scarab got angry when his friends teased him.

So I left Thumbelina behind.

It flew away with a purr.

Thumbelina wandered through the forest alone. I was so hungry and exhausted that I felt like I was going to collapse.

“Oh my! What can I do with this?"

“Would you like to come to my house with me?”

A field mouse who was passing through the forest looked at Thumbelina and said.

The field mouse’s house was in the ground. A mole who lived next door came to visit and fell in love with Thumbelina at first sight.

“She’s such a pretty girl. I want to marry her.”

Thumbelina's heart sank.

“Mr. Mole is very kind and rich.” 

The field mouse praised her earnestly, but Thumbelina did not want to marry the mole. If you marry a mole, you have to live underground. Thumbelina came out.

How can I live without seeing this beautiful sunlight?

Thumbelina was wandering through the forest and came across a swallow that had collapsed with a damaged wing.

“Oh my! It must hurt a lot.”

Thumbelina tore off her apron and bandaged the swallow's wounds.

The next day, and the day after that, Thumbelina went to the swallow.

A few days later, the swallow's wounds healed completely. I was able to fly in the sky again.

“Miss, would you like to come with me?

“I am on my way to the land of flowers.”

“But I have to go back home to my grandmother. I miss her.”

“If I go to the Land of Flowers, I might be able to find out how to return home.” 

Thumbelina went to the Land of Flowers with the swallow.

The land of flowers was very beautiful. A variety of colorful flowers were in full bloom.

“Welcome, Thumbelina.

“Actually, you are a flower fairy,” said the Prince of the Land of Flowers as he welcomed Thumbelina.

I sent you as a flower seed to make my lonely grandmother happy.

Thumbelina wrote a letter to her grandmother.

'Don't worry, Grandma, Thumbelina is living happily in the land of flowers!'

The swallow delivered a letter to grandmother.

I also sent flower seeds with pretty flowers. This is a gift from the flower fairy Thumbelina to her grandmother.

Thumbelina - Fairy Tale by Hans Christian Andersen : 

Thumbelina is a fairy tale written by Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1873), the eternal friend of children. 

Bolstoy read the fairy tale written by Andersen and said, "Andersen must have been a scary person. Otherwise, how could he hear the sound of flowers whispering in the middle of the night?" “Can you do it?”

Andersen, who had rich emotions and talent, was loved by many, but he did not get along well with people. 

He couldn't get close to poor people in similar situations, and he couldn't break through the cold wall of upper society, which somehow discriminated against him. 

Maybe it was because he lived a solitary life that he was able to write such wonderful fairy tales.

By reading Thumbelina, we can see how Andersen viewed the world. It is that if you endure and overcome hardships, good things will come. 

Thumbelina is also the image of a child who does not yet know the world and does not know what to do. But it shows that even if difficulties come, if you do your best and persevere without giving up hope, you can eventually find happiness.

What was it like meeting Thumbelina?

After you finish reading the fairy tale, just don't put it on. I'm not finished reading the book yet. It is said that the person who reads the picture book determines the value of the picture book. Also, the story shared with mom and dad after reading the book makes the child like reading more and makes the child feel that it is something special. 

Think about the contents of the fairy tale and share it with your child. Switch to the way you speak to your child and ask questions naturally. You will be able to see more into the kind hearts of your children.

1. What was your grandmother’s wish if she lived alone?

2. Talk about how your grandmother felt when Thumbelina was born.

3 Who helped Thumbelina as she searched for her home?

4 How was Thumbelina able to go to the land of flowers?

5. What is your earnest wish?

It is important to realize the lessons planted in spiritual circles and to discuss your feelings and thoughts with your parents. Rather than asking the child one-sidedly, “Mom thinks this, are you a mother?” 

Let's lead the conversation. Even if your child can't answer easily and is a neighbor, don't press him.

Go through the book with your child again, carefully. Little by little, your child will learn how to count and express himself.

[Book Review - Fairy Tale from Swedish] The Boy Who Visited The North Wind

The Boy Who Visited The North Wind

[Fairy Tale from Swedish] The Boy Who Visited The North Wind

Once upon a time, there lived a boy.

The boy's family was poor, but he lived happily with his parents.

But since when did the boy and his mother look out the window every day?

A long time ago, I went out on a boat to catch herring.

It was because my father didn't come back.

The boy desperately wanted his father to return.

When my father was around, we always had an abundance of salted herring, but now we're all gone. We also ran out of corn flour.

The boy and his mother decided to sell their only sheep. 

I didn't want to sell the sheep that I had become so attached to as family, but I had no choice to buy food.

The boy said to the sheep.

“I’ll be sure to pick you up when my father comes back.”

“Buy, sell…………..”

The sheep cried quietly as if it knew the boy's feelings.

The boy sold the sheep to a farm that needed wool.

And I asked the farm owner several times to take good care of the sheep until I came to retrieve them.

The boy and his mother sold the sheep and bought salted herring and cornmeal with the money they received. 

I always kept it in a cool food storage room. If you leave it there, it won't spoil. 

The boy went in and out of the warehouse instead of his mother, who was weak. 

“Herring and cornmeal are becoming scarce."

"Ah, father will always come.”

“Mom, when will dad come?”

My mother sighed and said.

It’s the first time the north wind has been this calm. If the north wind doesn’t blow, the ship can’t move. Hey, if only the north wind blows…………….

The boy said with sparkling eyes.

If only the north wind blows, will your father come back?

Then I will go find the North Wind.

Although his mother tried to stop him, the boy courageously left home.

The boy kept walking and walking, leaving small footprints on the snow.

The boy walked a long way and finally met the North Wind.

Hello, Mr. North Wind? Why isn’t there any wind?

They say that if the wind doesn't blow, my father won't come back.

 

Mr. North Wind, Please bring some wind. 

“Yes?” North Wind sighed.

I need a magic wand to use my powers. But Yellow Mustache stole the magic wand.

Huh? Who is Yellow Mustache?

He is the greatest thief in the world.

The boy sat down in disappointment.

Then the North Wind can chase after you and come back.

 The North Wind sighed again.

I can’t move as I want without a magic wand.

 

The boy thought for a moment and said.

Great. I’ll get the magic wand.

The boy is looking for a yellow mustache

I walked gently along the snow-covered road.

There was no north wind, so it wasn't that cold.

However, because he was worried about his mother who was waiting anxiously at home, the boy walked even more diligently.

But then I heard a whining sound from far away.

The boy carefully approached the direction of the sound.

A baby reindeer was caught in a trap and crying.

The mother reindeer and father reindeer were restless and circling around the baby reindeer.

The boy ran and quickly set the trap and released the baby reindeer.

Father Reindeer said to the boy.

“Thank you so much for saving my baby.”

“I’m glad you weren’t hurt too much."

“By the way, do you know where the yellow mustache is?”

Surprisingly, Papa Reindeer nodded.

You did really well.

Can you take me to Yellow Mustache?

Ah, I put the boy on my back and ran as fast as the wind.

It’s the little house you see over there.

As soon as I whistle, I’ll come running.

The boy knocked on the door of the small house.

“Knock knock knock!”

A rough-looking yellow mustache stuck out his head.

“I’m lost. I’m so cold and hungry that I feel like I’m going to faint. Please let me stay for one night. mister."

Yellow Mustache shook his head.

“Nonsense! I just can’t put it down!”

The boy put his hands together and asked.

“Please, please.

“In return, I will clean your house.”

I thought about the yellow mustache for a moment.

“Okay. We need to prepare some food.”

The boy prepared dinner for Yellow Mustache.

I cleaned the house thoroughly.

After eating his fill, Yellow Mustache felt a little better.

This is really annoying.

If I let you sleep overnight, it won’t be a big deal.

Yellow Mustache took a peek into the room where the boy was sleeping.

The boy was sleeping soundly.

You sleep without knowing anything about the world. Still, you have to be careful.

 

Yellow Mustache couldn't relax.

So I took a big bag and I quietly went to the barn.

The sack was full of stolen treasure.

Of course, there was a magic wand.

Yellow Mustache lifted the pyre and hid the sack.

Then, we covered it with firewood.

If you do this, no one will find you, right? Hahaha!

Yellow Mustache went out to steal.

Actually, the boy didn't sleep.

I pretended to be asleep and slowly opened my eyes.

The boy saw Yellow Mustache pass by the door.

I secretly followed him.

When he saw that Yellow Mustache had gone out, he searched the pyre and quickly found the magic wand. Let the boy whistle 'whistle'.

Dad’s reindeer came running.

When Yellow Mustache came back in a huff, startled by the sound of the whistle, the father's reindeer carrying the boy had already run away.

The North Wind was so happy to get his magic wand back that he didn't know what to do.

Thank you. Thank you! I never thought you would find a magic wand... I will find your father right away and bring him back.

Don’t worry, go back home.

The boy went home happy.

When I got home, my father had already returned and was waiting for the boy.

“Ah, father!”

The boy hugged his father and cried.

We were caught by a typhoon and were carried a very far away, but the wind suddenly stopped.

I finally came back because the thankful wind blew again.

After that, the boy lived happily with his parents for a long time, and of course the sheep came back.

Never again did the north wind not blow for so long.

❤️❤️❤️

Book Review : 

It's a story about a brave and clever boy. When his father didn't return from his boat, the boy set out to find the north wind. Because his mother said that his father couldn't return because the north wind didn't blow and the boat couldn't move. 

The boy who met the north wind Yellow Mustache steals the North Wind's magic wand and discovers that he cannot create wind. So on his way back to Yellow Mustache, he accidentally saves a baby reindeer and retrieves the magic wand with the help of Father Reindeer. 

Of course, the North Wind was able to catch up again, and the boy's father was able to return as well. 

Sweden is a country with long, cold winters. In addition, there is only snow and wind in winter, and the sun can only be seen for three or four hours until midday. So the harsh north wind can be felt as a natural disaster to the Swedes. 

However, the Swedish people accepted the north wind as a very familiar, helpful, and indispensable natural phenomenon. Like moving a boat to take a boy's father. 

Another lesson from this story is to think positively by turning disadvantages into advantages like Swedish people do.

The boy in this story sets out to find his father and courageously solves problems proactively. He also has a kind heart and saves a baby tree that is in trouble. 

Tell me about a time you experienced something difficult and how you solved it. Also, talk about this boy's courage.

❤️❤️❤️

Activity - Ask your child : 

1) Why did the boy have to sell the sheep?

2) Why did the boy go to see Mr. North Wind?

3) Why was the North Wind quiet?

4) Who did the boy save when he went looking for the yellow mustache?

5) Where did Yellow Mustache hide the sack of treasure?

Novel ini masuk dalam longlist International Booker Prize 2023 dan menjadi novel yang memikat sejak awal bab hingga akhir. 

 

Novel ini berkisah tentang Geumbok, Chunhui, dan perempuan bermata satu yang saling bertautan takdir dengan kutukan nenek tua.

 

Nenek tua yang malang itu meninggalkan warisan uang dan akta tanah yang turun dari langit-langit rumah Geumbok akibat banjir bandang di malam hari.

 

Paginya, Geumbok yang shock segera mengamankan uangnya dan mencari tahu di mana tanah yang dimaksud. Ia segera mendirikan pabrik batu bata di Nambaran dan theater Paus di Pyeongdae bersama Mun dan Chunhui.

 

Sayangnya, dendam nenek tua itu mengundang bencana dalam hidup orang-orang yang memakai hartanya.

 

Kematian 800 an orang di theater berbentuk Paus telah menelan korban yang sangat banyak.

 

Kebakaran itu menyisakan duka mendalam bagi Chunhui karena dia dituduh sebagai pelaku pembakaran theater. Gadis bisu itu bahkan tak bisa membela dirinya sendiri.

 

Lalu, apa hubungan theater dengan konflik kepentingan politik Korea Utara dan Korea Selatan? Apa hubungan ikan paus dengan hidup Geumbok yang berjalan seperti roller coaster?
