Book Description
for Dear Juno by Soyung Pak and Susan Kathleen Hartung
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Whenever Juno sees a letter with his name written on it and a special stamp, he knows he’s received a new message from his grandmother in Korea. Although his grandmother can’t read or write English and Juno can’t read or write Korean, they still find ways to communicate directly with each other by sharing pictures, leaves and flowers. This gentle, realistic story about a young bicultural child is the first book by a promising first-time writer. (Ages 4-7)
