Babiekins Magazine

A Trendsetting Magazine & Online Community For The Trendsetting Child + Parent

Storykins // Inspired by ‘Waiting for Mama’

By Gina Munsey, Senior Editor 3 Comments

Waiting for Mama:엄마 마중 is a very short story, the text of which was first published in a Korean newspaper in 1938. Later illustrated and made into a children’s book, Waiting for Mama contains some of the most beautiful illustrations I have seen. I discovered the book this week at the library, and I’ll be purchasing it very, very soon.

Rather than recreate the characters’ garments for a literal Get the Look, I decided to instead draw inspiration from the artwork and bring you a selection of clothing which matches the colors and hues found throughout the book. I hope you enjoy it — and I hope you’re able to read the book soon so you can discover the heart-tugging story yourself!

Copyright © 2023 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
