Hana is faced with a what scrumptious dinner should she make for her four grandparents who are all coming for a visit? This dish isn't yummy enough, that one isn't special enough . . . What's an aspiring chef to do? Her mother tells her to cook what makes her heart happy, so Hana thinks hard. She remembers the savory gumbo that she made with Grandma and Grandpa Williams when she visited them in the South. Then she reminisces about the sweet and spicy stew she made with Halmoni and Harabeoji during her trip to Seoul. Feeling inspired, Hana creates a dish that brings together the best flavors of her two cultures in a mouthwatering new way, and her grandparents couldn't be prouder!

This book is absolutely charming! The heartwarming message about love being the essential ingredient that unites us all is beautifully conveyed. The multicultural theme is wonderfully presented, and the inclusion of a recipe, along with word pronunciation and definitions at the end, makes it even more special. The art style is stunning as well. It's a must-read for children to understand and appreciate diversity.
