Love it! Read it to my daughter's class!

We LOVE this book! We just read it to my daughter's kindergarten class, as they are learning about different cultures and backgrounds. It was a great way to get other (non-Korean) kids acquainted with not only Korean foods, but the pronunciation of Korean words (and they were great at it!). It was awesome to see my daughter share her Korean heritage with her classmates in a tangible way. Most of the kids in the classroom said "hotteok" was their favorite food from the book; "bingsoo" was a close second. Thank you again for making this food with beautiful illustrations!

Amazing

My kids are obsessed with this book. They love being able to put a more accessible picture and story to some of the foods they eat and why we eat them. And now they can point out which foods they want to eat when my mom comes to visit.

A Very Asian Guide to Korean Food

I’m overjoyed with this book. The illustrations remind me of the old Korean folk tale books I read when I was younger. This is a very timely book in our household as my kids are starting to fully embrace their Korean culture.

It really intrigued my 8yr old

First, I absolutely love the illustrations. Every page is chock full of information and my daughter went back a few times to look at specific pages again. A week or so after reading the book, we were listening to a story that mentions lots of Korean foods and she got really excited that she recognized a bunch of them!
