Children's Non Fiction

Spotlight on South Korea introduces children to the country of South Korea in Asia. Today, most of the country's people have moved from the countryside to live in the cities. Although much of South Korea's culture has been influenced by its nearest neighbors China and Japan, Koreans have been able to maintain their own traditions and celebrations. Young readers will be interested to read about daily life in the cities, as well as about traditional Korean festivals, such as Dano, an ancient festival to celebrate the planting of crops.
