found it! What We Have in Common!" A guidebook for children seeking common ground that nurtures their hearts, "What We Have in Common" depicts a fifth-grade protagonist's journey as he observes the people around him and discovers similarities with himself. The moment he notices even the smallest similarities, the worlds of others and "myself" overlap, enabling him to form healthy relationships with everyone. The reason the protagonist greeted the dentist he once feared with a smile, and the secret to befriending a child from the other side of the world, all lie in "finding common ground." As young readers follow the protagonist's story of discovering commonalities with an open mind, they will learn a positive attitude and tolerance for building relationships with others. With author Ahn Sung-hoon's meticulously crafted text that captures the inquisitive mind of a child, and artist Mo Ye-jin's charming illustrations that beautifully depict the moments when diverse commonalities are discovered, this book is a delightful guide to expanding relationships. Can we, so different as we are, truly become friends? The power that connects us lies in our "common ground"! Can people with polar opposites in age, gender, place of residence, social status, tastes, and values ​​become friends? Indeed, former US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and former conservative Justice Antonin Scalia maintained a close, lifelong friendship despite their polar opposite political leanings. Their shared love of opera, their friendship, became so famous that it was even adapted into an opera, "Scalia/Ginsburg." Relationships become stronger when we focus on our similarities rather than our differences. "What We Have in Common" naturally unravels this message through a variety of episodes from children's daily lives, teaching them how to broaden their own worlds. The protagonist, Hyunseo, observes her family, neighbors, schoolmates, and teachers, as well as seemingly dissimilar people like a dentist, a district mayor, an idol singer, and even a peer from a different culture on the other side of the world, exploring their shared interests. We often develop preconceived notions based on only a fragmented view of others, but ultimately, through small commonalities, we bond with them, broadening and warming our worlds. Hyunseo's story, which highlights her positive perspective and attitude toward others, will convey the joy of discovering commonalities to children, fostering understanding and consideration for others, and teaching them how to build healthy relationships. The key to transforming conflict into understanding and differences into respect! "Finding Commonalities" fosters consideration and tolerance. Hyunseo not only finds commonalities with those close to her, such as family, friends, and neighbors, but also extends her interest to those with less readily apparent similarities, such as people from diverse professions or plants and animals. While she sometimes makes hasty judgments, careful observation ultimately allows her to shed her prejudices and gain a new perspective on herself and others. The starting point of such change is always the discovery of commonalities. For example, upon seeing the district head, once considered pretentious, pick up trash in the park alone, Hyunseo realizes that she, too, cannot ignore litter left on the street, realizing an unexpected commonality. Another memorable scene is the one where Hyunseo, who used to hate the upstairs kid who caused noise, changes her attitude upon discovering that his handwriting resembles her own from her childhood. She resolves to laugh it off, believing that even when she hears footsteps from upstairs, it will bring joy to her child. This scene reminds us that "finding commonalities" can transform conflict into understanding and consideration. In this way, "What You and I Have in Common" helps young readers go beyond self-affirmation to learn to respect and openly accept the differences between themselves and others. Want to understand "me" and get along with "you"? This is a relationship development guide for all children. Discovering commonalities not only strengthens inner strength but also plays a crucial role in developing the ability to connect with others, that is, social skills. The secret to becoming friends with someone completely different from yourself lies in "finding commonalities." Hyunseo finds a sense of connection in the seemingly brave and strong swimming instructor's clumsy demeanor, and she deeply empathizes with the children's author who confesses to a lack of focus. The way the protagonist and the characters around them discover commonalities in each other's shortcomings and mistakes, and grow closer, demonstrates that commonalities don't necessarily have to be "strengths" or "advantages." The moment children realize, "This can be a commonality, too!", they will naturally learn to open the door to conversation and connect with others. "What You and I Have in Common" also depicts Hyunseo discovering similarities between two different people, broadening her understanding of diverse humanities. Hyunseo's observations of the two from an observer's perspective are rendered in vibrant cartoons by artist Mo Ye-jin, making the reading experience even more enjoyable. Connecting with others, born from small commonalities, enriches a child's world and naturally fosters emotional and social growth. In today's world, where differences fuel deepening hostility and hatred, "What You and I Have in Common" will establish itself as a book that teaches children how to connect with one another through the power of respect and empathy.
