고래가그랬어는

2003년 창간한 어린이 교양지입니다. 옛날 <새소

년> <어깨동무>처럼 재미있는 잡지지만, 다른 점

은 상업적이지 않다는 것입니다. 고래가그랬어는

일찌감치 '경쟁력 있는 상품'으로만 길러지는 우리

아이들과 함께 이웃과 더불어 자연과 더불어 사는

삶의 가치를 일깨우는, 세상에서 하나뿐인 어린이

교양지입니다.

고래동무는

고래동무는 서민지역 초등 도서관과 공부방에 고

래가그랬어를 보내주는 단체입니다. 현재 전국초

등분교 5백 곳과 서민지역 공부방 1백여 곳에 매

달 고래를 보내주고 있습니다. 고래동무의 첫 목표

는 읍면 이하 지역과 도시서민지역 초등학교 도서

관과 공부방 2천 곳에 꼬박꼬박 고래가그랬어를

보내는 것입니다.

고래가 꿈꾸는 세상,

고.꿈.세로 오세요.

고래 독자님들의 온라인 모임 고•꿈•세가 있어요.

네이버 카페 고래가 꿈꾸는 세상…….

아이와 함께 고래를 읽으며 고래가 꿈꾸는 세상에 대해 이야기를 나누고 있어요.

어떻게 하면 더 많은 아이들이 고래를 만날 수 있을까 생각을 나누고 있어요.

솔직하고 정직한 책인 것 같아서 좋아요.

…이런 책이 있어야 우리에게 '선택의 자유'라는 것이 생길 것 같습니다.

요즘 어떤 어린이 책이든 집어 들면 표지에 써 있잖아요.

“특목고로 가는 지름길” ←이런 책을 선택하지 않을 수 있는 자유가 필요합니다.

닉네임 똘망소년 님의 글

고•꿈•세는 진짜 행복하게 사는 게 무엇인지,

우리 아이가 행복한 세상은 어떤 세상인지 고민을 나누는 곳이랍니다.

고•꿈•세에서 고래가 꿈꾸는 ‘행복한 세상’의 실마리를 찾아보세요.

그리고 독자님 스스로 하나의 실마리가 되어 주세요.
