Binna introduces her friends to a sweet Korean treat in this charming picture book about finding the right words in a new language
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 the her sister's encouragement and the support of her classmates, Binna finds the right words (and snack) to share about her life in Korea.
