Picture Book of the Week: I Am the Subway
I Am the Subway by Kim Hyo-eun, Translated by Deborah Smith
Accompanied by the constant, rumbling ba-dum ba-dum of its passage through the city, the subway has stories to tell. Between sunrise and sunset, it welcomes and farewells people, and holds them―along with their joys, hopes, fears, and memories―in its embrace.
Originally published in Korean and brought to English-speaking audiences with the help of renowned translator Deborah Smith, I Am the Subway vividly reflects the shared humanity that can be found in crowded metropolitan cities. A wonderful book for train loving families.
