The Red Fruit
by Lee Gee Eun
This is a simple but inventive picture book with minimal text, in which a bear cub sets off in search of fruit to eat. The artist uses East Asian style black ink on white paper, with splashes of red which form an important part of the story. The illustrations are playful, alternating between close-ups of the bear cub and double spreads where the bear is a tiny figure among tall trees. A very charming picture book by an award-winning Korean illustrator.
