A grandfather lived on a small farm in a tiny village.  Whenever he needed to go to market, he had to go over Misfortune Mountain where there was a legend that whoever fell on the mountain only had 3 more years to live.  The grandfather began his journey, but stumbled and fell.  He was so sad that he only had three more years to live.  After three years he began to get very sick.  Doctors had no explanation and said that he was healthy.  His clever grand daughter came to visit.  What could she do to save his life?"

The Three-Year Tumble is a Korean folktale about choosing to find the positive perspective  in a negative situation.  The interesting turn about in the story is surprising and delightful. 

Auh uses many different artistic mediums to create energetic and colorful illustrations that enhance the story.
