A quirky story about finding your voice, from internationally acclaimed author Heena Baek. Tong Tong could never have imagined what everyone around him was thinking. But when he gets hold of some magic candies, suddenly there are voices everywhere. He can hear how his couch feels, what upsets his dog, that his demanding dad loves him. He even gets to catch up with his dead grandmother. It turns out, these voices in Tong Tong's life have A LOT to say! Is Tong Tong ready to hear it? At turns funny, weird, and heartfelt, this imaginative picture book from award-winning Korean author Heena Baek will take readers along on Tong Tong's journey as he goes from lonely to brave.

Probably one of the strangest books I've read. No friends. Terrible dad. Tired 🐕. Eat candies = hear voices. The illustrations are fascinating. Check out the author/illustrator's web page http://storybowl.com/?ckattempt=1

RebL I love this book! It‘s whimsical & a little disturbing. However, my favorite part is the illustrations. 1y

mandarchy @RebL it reminded me of a French movie. It's outside my cultural encapsulation bubble. 1y

#OminousOctober Day 5: A young boy found magic #Candy - candies, actually, that allowed him to magically hear voices. it is executed in such a masterful manner, with just the right amount of absurdity mixed together with the heartfelt and true. My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-nJN

Magic Candies | Heena Baek

Definitely recommend. I chuckled at the writing & appreciate the message. I admire the book design. The illustrations, though. The illustrations completely took me over. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe nostalgia? I‘d love to see how a child would react. #picturebook #InTranslation
