A middle grade graphic novel about a Taiwanese girl whose family immigrates to the USA, but has to leave her A-ma behind. She decides to enter a cooking contest to make money to fly her A-ma over for a visit!
It's a book about the complexities of cultural identity, about the disconnect between what your parents want for you vs what you want for yourself, about American racism towards Asian people and Asian food, about the importance of food that speaks to you, and about friendship and family and love. A very heartfelt and lovely little book.
