Based upon my Daily Vocab for Mom  series.

I am always looking for ways to improve my drawing skills, and I always want to branch out from my typical drawings and paintings. In my freshman year of 2015, my mom and I collaborated to create the perfect solution. My mom, being a proud first-generation Korean immigrant, often discusses with me the different nuances of specific words in the English vocabulary. As a result, I drew images and created sentences for terms that are more difficult to understand. After a while, these drawings were compiled into a book, and Daily Vocab for My Mom was born. In 2018, this vocabulary book consists of over 200 images and definitions.

Although the daily vocabulary words were in no particular sequence—other than the order that my mother came across them—for publication purposes, I have divided them into several books by their perceived order of difficulty.

My mom has shared this book with her friends in the Korean-American community, and they discuss each word and its respective illustration. However, I want this book’s purpose to transcend beyond my own community and impact the lives of many others who want to improve their English.
