Choi, Yangsook

Inspired by the clarity of voice and quietly expressive watercolors, young readers will easily connect with Jihun’s melancholy from missing a dear friend and celebrate his joy in expressing that love and finding hope in a budding friendship.

A nice picture book story about a family working together to make food they all enjoy.

Though first published in 2005, this edition’s new illustrations bring it firmly up to date, in a memoir that reads like a fairy tale of a community touched by a miracle.
