Kim Yo-sup (1927~1997) was a South Korean children’s writer. He made his literary debut in 1941 by publishing his children’s story “Gogae neomeo seonsaeng”  in The Maeil Sinbo. Often described as Korea’s own Hans Christian Andersen, he published excellent children’s books. After liberation, he defected to South Korea. In 1947 he published a poem “Supureseo” (수풀에서 In the Bush) in the literary coterie magazine Juksun, which heralded the start of his career as a poet. In 1957, he founded the Korean Children’s Writers Association. He received the Socheon Literary Award in 1965 and the Korean Literature Award in 1987. ·          Children’s story collection Naradanineun kokkiri (날아다니는 코끼리 Flying Elephant)(1986)
