Illustrated by
Bo Jia.
Simple and poetic, this unadorned story of a young girl's trip to Korea to visit her relatives has an appealing circular structure in which gifts and hugs are exchanged at the beginning and end of the visit. The rural household is very traditional, with no hint of contemporary life. Based on Wong's own experience, the themes of family love and nonverbal communication are lovingly portrayed in the text and the quiet watercolors.
