★ "Still, as the author notes, for all the pretentions of governments, wildlife, smog, greenhouse gases, and radiation from nuclear accidents cross borders with impunity-and so it is that on closing pages the travelogue gives way to a crucial reminder that we live on one, connected world. A powerful message, paired to art that rewards closer looks." - Kirkus (STARRED review)

Birds can fly over borders, fish can swim across them, and the internet can reach beyond them, yet people cannot cross them without permission.

Take a journey and explore how borders look around the world! From desert fences and mountain passes, to rivers, bridges, and bustling checkpoints, borders shape how countries—and people—connect.

This beautifully illustrated book invites young readers to discover different borders, understand why they exist, and think about how they affect our lives. With stunning visuals and thought-provoking ideas, Borders encourages curiosity, empathy, and a fresh perspective on the connections that unite us all.

First published in South Korea, Borders has earned international acclaim for its originality and impact, garnering a triple crown of prestigious honors: the 62nd Korea Book Award, Taiwan's Openbook Good Book Award, and the renowned French Prix Sorcièegrave;res for nonfiction.
