About This Book
Winner of the 21st Munhakdongne Children’s Literature Award - Grand Prize.
What would it mean to become the very last rhinoceros on Earth? To lose everyone you love, yet still bear the weight of being the final remaining one with your whole soul? What kind of resolve would it take to journey toward an unseen ocean, simply to fulfill a friend’s last wish and to find a place of safety where a young life truly belongs?
This book tells the story of Nordin, the last remaining white rhinoceros on Earth, and a young penguin born from an abandoned egg. Together, they endure countless long, long nights as they travel in search of the sea. What allows them to stand tall again on rough and broken paths, what illuminates the dark and sleepless nights, is a will like "a star rising even from a filthy puddle" - a force made of love and solidarity.
Beginning with the story of Sudan, The Long Long Night received high praise such as "an overwhelmingly powerful emotional experience," "a solemn exploration of life’s meaning and the journey to find it," and "a beautifully rendered portrayal of an endangered rhinoceros and a penguin who refuses to give up even in extreme circumstances." Alongside Lane No. 5, it was awarded the Grand Prize at the 21st Munhakdongne Children’s Literature Awards.
