Once again, my childhood, my love for stories, and my professional life—as a librarian, author, and literacy advocate—have converged with my life as ARMY. How can I love another K-pop group when BTS gathers everything I value and hold dear, offering it as a gift that crosses generations, cultures, and geographical borders?
The book is part of the Little Golden Book Biography series, and that makes all the difference. It is not just a biography, it is BTS’ story being placed into the hands of a new generation of readers, many of them children who may be meeting BTS for the very first time. That’s legacy work.
For ARMY, this feels like emotional validation. Their journey is now canonized alongside historic and cultural icons in an American children’s classic series. It bridges audiences—parents, educators, librarians, and kids—bringing BTS’ story into early literacy spaces. It cements them not just as entertainers, but as figures worthy of documented history.
This is just the beginning of my reflections on BTS’ place in the Little Golden Book Biography series.
