“Book Descriptions: Explore the delicious world of Korean Food! This illustrated picture book introduces young readers to classic and modern Korean dishes and provides fun facts about the foods and culture of Korea. Learn how kimchi is made or discover what makes a Korean fried chicken so crispy.
A Very Asian Guide to Korean Food is written by Michelle Li, an award-winning, veteran journalist and co-founder of the Very Asian Foundation. Michelle started a global unity movement with the viral hashtag #veryasian after receiving a racist voicemail in response to her sharing on-air the Korean foods she eats. She is a vocal advocate for the Asian American community and brings this same pride and energy for her culture to her debut children’s book. Illustrated by Sunnu Rebecca Choi in mixed media, each page is a colourful exploration of a dish that is sure to make every reader hungry.
The book is the first in the Very Asian Guide series, a children’s book series that celebrates various Asian cuisines, and is published by Gloo Books, a new children’s book publishing company making books for a more inclusive, just and compassionate future.” DRIVE
