Home in a Lunchbox

Jun moves from Hong Kong to America and feels lost and alone, only knowing a few words and phrases and unsure how to make friends. She moves through a grayed-out world until lunchtime, when nostalgia, joy, and the love of her family bring her comfort through the delicious lunches her mother makes for her in warm, rainbow illustrations. Eventually, she connects with her classmates by sharing food and feels at home in this new place. A beautiful immigration story that transcends the "scary lunchbox" tropes we often see.
