"In an exceptional debut, Mo deploys digital illustrations that expertly use selective coloring to depict an experience of finding common ground." 鈥� Starred review from Publisher's Weekly

"Inspired by Mo's move from Hong Kong to the United States at the age of 10, this remarkable story about finding comfort in a new home by bringing along familiar traditions is a must-purchase for picture book collections and will resonate with any child who has struggled to fit in." 鈥� Starred review from School Library Journal

"Round-faced, endearing Jun is utterly expressive; her sadness upon returning home each day is especially palpable... A touching immigrant story that hits the heart 鈥� and stomach." 鈥� Kirkus Reviews

"With its spare text (most of which is speech-bubble dialogue), the story is primarily conveyed through Mo鈥檚 sensitively drawn, sometimes paneled illustrations, which vividly depict Jun鈥檚 emotional state. This debut picture book captures the immigrant experience, highlighting the impact of small gestures of kindness and celebrating the unifying power of food across cultures and languages." 鈥� The Horn Book

"This story is brimming with rich and warm illustrations that invite you to discover the unifying power of food: how the simple act of sharing a meal with others can create and invoke belonging and community." 鈥� Courtney Roach, The Novel Neighbor, Webster Groves, MO

"This lushly illustrated book takes readers on a journey of memory and hope, highlighting the power of food to build connections across language, space, and time." 鈥� Joanna Ho, New York Times bestselling author of Eyes that Kiss in the Corners

"This story reminds us all how anyone can feel lonely, but small gestures can travel for miles. A beautiful book." 鈥� Erin E. Stead, illustrator of the Caldecott Medal-winning book A Sick Day for Amos McGee ...more
