Comments

Bounder & Beaky made friends with the fluffy eared squirrels and big ostriches that ran between the towering trees of Nami Island resplendent in the red and oranges of autumns. They loved reading the stories for PEACE STORY on bill boards especially the Korean, American and Australian ones - but they were all fantastic.

Bounder and Beaky did a bit of painting with Korea's renowned illustrator Kang Woo Hyon, Spanish children's illustrator Xan Lopez Domninguez and Australian illustrator Frane Lessac. They loved the Korean barbecues and banquets and ate too much.
