Borders

'(…) wildlife, smog, greenhouse gases, and radiation from nuclear accidents cross borders with impunity – and so it is that on closing pages the travelogue gives way to a crucial reminder that we live on one, connected world. A powerful message, paired to art that rewards closer looks.' – Kirkus (STARRED review)

Birds can fly over borders, fish can swim across them, and the internet can reach beyond them, yet people cannot cross them without permission.

Take a journey and explore how borders look around the world! From desert fences and mountain passes, to rivers, bridges, and bustling checkpoints, borders shape how countries – and people – connect.

This beautifully illustrated book invites young readers to discover different borders, understand why they exist, and think about how they affect our lives. With stunning visuals and thought-provoking ideas, Borders encourages curiosity, empathy, and a fresh perspective on the connections that unite us all. 

First published in South Korea, Borders has earned international acclaim for its originality and impact, garnering a triple crown of prestigious honors: the 62nd Korea Book Award, Taiwan’s Openbook Good Book Award, and the renowned French Prix Sorcières for nonfiction.
