A young diver’s dream on Jeju

On the Korean island of Jeju, Yuna grows up in a family of haenyeo—women who dive for seafood and shellfish while holding their breath. She hopes to follow that tradition, but her mother believes she is too young. The premise brings a family’s established way of life into conversation with a child’s own ambition, giving the story a clear focus on identity, perseverance, and the meaning of carrying on a tradition. The description leaves Yuna’s next steps open, framing the book around the dream and the family disagreement that stand in its way.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children interested in stories about family traditions and cultural identity.
  • Young readers who enjoy a character pursuing a personal dream despite an obstacle.
  • Readers curious about Jeju and the haenyeo diving tradition.tones
