Korean Surprise

About 1 PM today, our two bichons started barking hysterically. I looked out the window and saw the UPS truck driving away. I found a small package by our front door.

When I opened it, I was surprised to see that one of the books Barb and I wrote had been translated into Korean. We had just received 5 copies. Here is the latest foreign edition of  Nurturing the Shy Child.




Writing books is not particularly lucrative (unless you are on the best-seller lists for a long time--and we haven't been). But, it is really cool to see our books in various formats. Over the years, our books have been translated into many languages, including: German, Italian, Mandarin, Korean, Portuguese and Turkish.

Here is a sampling of some of the editions:

  1. Hi Mark,

    I'm Angela the grad student from UMSL who you helped with the concert video- just checked your blog and was surprised to see your books translated into Turkish as well! My mom's from Turkey and my husband is too! I'll have to get a copy of your book in Turkish and let you know how it reads!

    Hope you are doing well,
    Angela
