Binna’s finally starting to feel like she’s not a baby - she can read long books in English, beat her older sister at word games, and she can make dalgona by herself. But when she tries to tell her classmates about her weekend and the sugary, sandy treat she made . . . well, the English doesn’t come to her easily. Not being able to say what she wants is crushing. But with her sister's encouragement and the support of her classmates, Binna finds the right words (and snack) to share about her life in Korea.
"Using expressionistic artwork marked by visual metaphors, Kim-McCarthy cleverly captures the protagonist’s difficulties. Crossed-out words and arrows in Binna’s speech bubbles convey the child’s confusion . . . Keenly aware of the challenges many young immigrants confront, Kim-McCarthy makes clear that even seemingly small snafus can take a great emotional toll. The narrative comes to a satisfying conclusion . . . A delightfully gentle tale of navigating language barriers." —Kirkus
