    Home in a Lunchbox
    fullDescription
    **WINNER OF THE CALDECOTT HONOR**
    Cherry Mo's stunning debut is about a young girl who immigrates to America and finds home in an unexpected place.

    When Jun moves from Hong Kong to America, the only words she knows are hello, thank you, I don’t know, and toilet. Her new school feels foreign and terrifying.
    But when she opens her lunchbox to find her favorite meals—like bao, dumplings, and bok choy—she realizes home isn’t so far away after all.
    Through lush art and spare dialogue, Cherry Mo’s breathtakingly beautiful debut picture book reminds readers that friendship and belonging can be found in every bite.
