O-nui
Discover a Timeless Tale of Sibling Courage and Eastern Mythology
Do you remember hearing the words "Once upon a time..." from a grandmother's gentle voice? O-nui: The Brother and Sister brings that warmth and wonder to life through a beautifully illustrated modern folktale inspired by Korean legends.
Written and illustrated by Korean picture book artist Yena Lee, this story reimagines a classic Korean myth about a wise brother and sister who outsmart a fearsome tiger and rise to the sky as the sun and the moon. Rich with traditional Eastern symbols and hand-drawn illustrations that blend natural and mixed media, O-nui celebrates the power of cleverness, love, and justice.
If you love stories like Hansel and Gretel, this Korean sibling duo will capture your heart as they face a monster far more selfish and cruel than the one in the fairy tale. Rooted in the spirit of "good triumphs over evil," this original tale offers a fresh take on age-old values - and a sense of catharsis for readers of all ages.
Let this heartfelt story guide you through a magical world where bravery and kindness light the way.
Step into a story shaped by heritage and brought to life with love.
