Happy Birthday Eun-hee!

Today, July 5th, is Eun-hee Choung's birthday. She is the author and illustrator of Minji's Salon, an adorable story about the power of imaginative play.

Minji's mother heads to the hair salon for an update to her current hairstyle. Meanwhile, back at home, Minji and her black and bouncy canine companion make a mess, have fun and create memories with a hair salon setup all their own.

Told with bright and bold illustrations, Minji's Salon (also available in Spanish) is a lot of fun and guaranteed to be a
favorite on the shelves of little girls everywhere.

Eun-hee Choung graduated from the College of Art, Chungang University and studied at the Hankuk Illustration School. In 2005 she was awarded the grand prize in the Korean Published Arts Contest. She lives in South Korea.

Make an Appointment

Minji's Salon

From South Korea, Eun-hee Choung takes imaginative play to a whole new level in this picture book about a young girl and her make-believable salon. Minji's mother heads to her hairdresser for a color and cut while at home, Minji creates a whole new look for her canine volunteer.


The Spanish edition of Minji's Salon, El sal
ón de Minji, joins the Libros del Mundo series in March 2008, ensuring that all young children (most particularly, little girls) will have a new character to remind them of yet another way to make playtime and dress-up time into an interactive at-home adventure.
