This is a picture book about the motif of the song 'Island Child', which is about a little child who misses his mother and her heartfelt concern for her baby. It beautifully depicts Dong-i and his mother living in a secluded house in an island village. It is spring, Dad has gone out to sea fishing, and Mom has to leave young Dong-i alone at home to go hunting for oysters. Dong-yi remains alone at home, waiting. He plays with his dog, builds a shell garden together with his kitten, listens to a conch shell, and falls asleep, while his mother is busy picking oysters and cannot take care of him.
