SIX STARRED REVIEWS ★ “Lucky readers, climb aboard: extraordinary explorations await.” —Shelf Awareness ★ “I Am the Subway makes for an unforgettable journey.” —Bookpage ★ “[S]ensitive, closely observed portraits.” —Publishers Weekly ★ “A contemplative, poignant rendering of everyday journeys.” —Kirkus Reviews ★ “[B]eautiful and unusual.” —Youth Services Book Review ★ “Bewitching.” —Foreword Accompanied by the constant, rumbling ba-dum ba-dum of its passage through the city, the subway has stories to tell. Between sunrise and sunset, it welcomes and farewells people, and holds them—along with their joys, hopes, fears, and memories—in its embrace. Originally published in Korean and brought to English-speaking audiences with the help of renowned translator Deborah Smith (The Vegetarian), I Am the Subway vividly reflects the shared humanity that can be found in crowded metropolitan cities. - A wonderful gift for parents, carers, and grandparents of train-loving children - Perfect for teachers and librarians looking for books that share global experiences and lives from an own-voice perspective - Great for fans of Next Stop Grand Central Station by Maira Kalman, Subway by Christopher Neiman, and Last Stop on Market Street by Matt de la Peña and Christian Robertson
