Understanding Labor (release in May 2025)
Written by Kang Rosa, Illustrated by Yoon Sojin
Labor has been a key driving force in human history and is the foundation of our society. While most people work as laborers, many do not fully understand what labor truly means. By
helping children gain a proper understanding of labor and its significance, we can build a society where labor is valued and respected.
The book Understanding Labor begins with the story of Sun-ho, who wants to buy a gaming console. It introduces the topic of labor from a perspective that is both realistic and easy for children to grasp: “To buy what you want, you need money, and money comes from labor.” The book explores labor through five key themes: the meaning of labor, types of labor, labor and human rights, labor and workers’rights, and career exploration.

Children are born as citizens and grow as citizens. Growing into healthy citizens should be a natural part of their everyday lives.
