[이다의 도시관찰일기] 2da’s Urban Observation Diary

🔅 Book Guide by K-BOOKS AND MORE

Illustrator [2da’s Ida’s Urban Observation Diary] brings the joy of observation from her previous work, [2da’s Nature Observation Diary], into the city.
Walking, watching, and recording, she carefully observes streets, people, objects, and spaces.
In the city’s cold and complex environment, her senses become sharper and more precise.
Ordinary places—villa gardens, buses, alleys, and old shops—become stages for new stories and emotions.
The book captures whimsical, strange, touching, and often amusing moments through Ida’s gaze.

The book consists of both illustrated sections and text-based sections.
The illustrated sections are accessible to elementary-level Korean learners, and the text sections make the book suitable for intermediate-level learners as a whole.
