Book Introduction
This book captures the warm and sparkling words that grow from children’s hearts, told by announcer Lee Geum-hee.
After listening to and sharing stories with us for many years, announcer Lee Geum-hee presents her first children’s book with Junior Gimm-Young Publishers. Words That Make Everyone Happy brings together the touching and heartwarming words she has heard from children over her 35-year career as an announcer and broadcaster.
Lee Geum-hee notices small moments of warmth in children’s everyday words—moments others might easily overlook. From these moments, she discovers the gentle power of words that make hearts shine. This book is not simply a collection of cute expressions from children; it is a kind and thoughtful record of how feelings form and reach others.
Believing that a child’s words carry the true texture and color of the heart, the author shares that “words that make everyone happy” are ultimately “words that make the speaker happy.” Without fancy expressions or complicated intentions, children’s words often carry a deeper resonance than those of adults. Words That Make Everyone Happy gently reminds us that a single word can change someone’s day, steady our own hearts, and bring happiness to those around us. In the chilly seasons, this book brings back the warm, comforting words we may have forgotten and wraps our hearts in softness once again.

الكتاب هذا رهيب بصراحة! ما سمعته فيه من أطفال تكلّس الود في القلب. المفردات المعبرة وحكايات البهجة خلتني أفكر كم الكلام يأثر بنا بأبعاد غريبة وبطرق نغفلها أحياناً. لي جو ثن يعني كلمات لينة تقرا ومش عارف شنو توصل للجوانا أو تنعكس بتجاربنا الحياتية اليومية، مدعم بذكريات أصحاب الصغيرين اللي اعتبرهم فنانين لحظاتهم السحرية.

De sprankelende woorden in dit boek zijn een ode aan de eenvoud en vreugde van kinderlijke expressie. Een ware blik op het verkennende hart van kinderen die ons herinneren dat er schoonheid zit in alledaagse gesprekken.

Initially, I approached ‘Words That Make Everyone Happy’ with some hesitation. Children’s books often tread the same familiar ground, teetering between sweet and saccharine clichés. However, Lee Geum-hee manages to transcend this common pitfall brilliantly! The narrative embraces candid anecdotes directly from children’s conversations in their unfiltered authenticity—a reflection of childhood simplicity that felt like a refreshing breeze on an overly humid day here in Chicago. Through delicate storytelling intertwined with genuine reflections on young innocence, it emerges as more than just verses; it’s a gentle embrace for both children and adults alike—an uplifting journey where each phrase turns mundane moments into joyously memorable gems.

Lee Geum-hee’s ‘Words That Make Everyone Happy’ is a joyful reminder of the simplicity in children’s wisdom, truly uplifting for adults and children alike.

In “Woorden die Iedereen Gelukkig Maken” vangt Lee Geum-hee de betovering van kindercommunicatie zoals geen ander. Het is niet slechts een verzameling zoete uitspraken, maar eerder een hartstochtelijke ode aan de puurheid en nieuwsgierigheid in hun stemmen. Wanneer ik deze pagina’s omdraaide met mijn kinderen onder de zonnige luchten van Amsterdam, voelden we ons samen op reis door hun bijzondere verbeeldingswereld. De zinnen zijn alsof je meeloopt op het ritme van kinderlijke vreugde—iets dat al te vaak over het hoofd wordt gezien in volwassen leven! Ter vergelijking: terwijl sommige boeken superficieel blijven spelen met woorden, verbindt dit werk ons echt opnieuw vanuit gevoel en begrip.
