Khayyāṭ-khānah-yi Sūʾul Persiska (Farsi) 1403

The Tailor Shop in Seoul tells the story of a grandfather with fresh ideas, who worked diligently and meticulously so that the people of the city could appreciate his skill and artistry; a father who, even during wartime, carefully wielded his scissors with hard work and precision; and a son who, with creativity and innovation, stitches on to keep his father’s and grandfather’s business alive.

The book captures children’s attention with humorous illustrations of dogs in suits—some very large, very picky, very old, or attending various parties and events—showing that each of us has our own tastes and needs, which may or may not resemble those of others.

The story unfolds at a crossroad in Seoul, a place that gradually changes over time. Each tailor must make new decisions to keep their shop running and must sew with full dedication, because “even the smallest mistake is visible!”
