kids, doesn’t it? But parents and teachers want to read this one,too.It can teach them something
about the language of today’s k ids.

“The girl in the book is like me.She’s simple天真的and moody忧郁的,”said Guiyeoni.
Guiyeoni’s book doesn’t only use words.It also uses things like emotions情感.Emotions
are small icons图标,like smiling faces,and they are used to show emotions.Kids know what these
things mean, because they often use them when they talk on the Internet or send messages with
mobile phones.
Guiyeoni said she wrote this way because of her young readers. “Writing with pictures is
vivid（生动）and can say a lot of things,”she said.
Guiyeoni began writing the book’s story on the Web in 2001 when she was a Senior 2 （高
二）student. Last year,she put t hat online story together to make this book.“That Guy Was Cool”
has been made into拍摄成a film,and it will come out in Korea next month.
