Veteran film translator Lee Mi-do seems to know no boundary in pursuing his dreams. Instead of being content as the nation's top film translator, Lee has recently jumped into the English education book market for children.
It is no surprise that Lee, who has published books combining films and English, has released a children's book. But this time, he has taken a different format ― a comic strip mixing English with creative thinking.
``While I have translated numerous films for a long time, I felt thirsty for creativity. So I wanted to write something. I released my first book in 2004. Once I started writing my own work, creative ideas kept inspiring me to write a new challengeable work,'' Lee said in an interview with The Korea Times.
``I Scream for Ice Cream,'' written by Lee and illustrated by Choi Jin-gyu, is a comic book on English grammar for children to stimulate their curiosity and interest.
