Cherry Mo's stunning debut is about a young girl who immigrates to America and finds home in an unexpected place.
When Jun moves from Hong Kong to America, the only words she knows are hello, thank you, I don t know, and toilet. Her new school feels foreign and terrifying.
But when she opens her lunchbox to find her favorite meals like bao, dumplings, and bok choy she realizes home isn t so far away after all.
Through lush art and spare dialogue, Cherry Mo s breathtakingly beautiful debut picture book reminds readers that friendship and belonging can be found in every bite.
