Park Chan-hee is a Korean children’s writer whose restrained storytelling often approaches large social and environmental questions through a child’s point of view. In River, Stay With Me, she turns the transformation of the Yeogang River into an intimate story of memory, loss, and ecological responsibility. Jeong Rim is a Korean picture-book artist who works as a professional illustrator while also teaching creative drawing. Her warm, lyrical images have appeared in several children’s books, including works published by BookGorae. Together, Park’s understated prose and Jeong Rim’s poetic visual language give the environmental changes along the river a deeply personal emotional weight.
