Red Ogre, Blue Ogre (Korean version) - Albert Kim - Bog

Red really and truly wanted to have human friends. One day he decided that human kids would love him because he knew in his heart he is good person... well a good ogre. So he plucked up his courage and introduced himself to the kids playing by the forest. But when the kids saw him, they screamed and threw stones and sticks at him. It hurt... A little bruise here and there wasn't a big deal. He had much worse injuries before. What hurt was the rejection. Overwhelmed by deep shame, Red ran away in tears and hid in the Old Nightshade Grove, "They don't like me because I'm a monster! It wasn't my choice to be an ogre, you know..." That was when Blue came by. Blue was another ogre. In fact, the only other ogre left after the Great Ogre Hunt of 1066 AD. Having Blue beside him made Red feel better. Blue always accepted Red. Red told Blue what had happened, and Blue said he had the perfect plan to help Red make human friends... In this ancient life-changing tale, Albert Kim and Yuna Joe have combined their talents to tell a story that is more relevant today than ever. This book answers the question: "What is a friend?" In today's exploding population, paradoxically loneliness is commonplace and antidepressant prescriptions to cope with loneliness have been rising exponentially. This story may hold a cure to stop the epidemic of the wildly spreading friendlessness.
