Review Quotes: "A poignant story that shows us we carry more than words can express." --Joanna Ho, bestselling author of Eyes That Kiss in the Corners

★ "[A] lovingly intergenerational picture book from Yoon and Lee....The clear affection between characters, drawn using watercolor, colored pencils, and digital media, radiates from the page...in this tale translating a warm concept beyond borders." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"In this empathetic work, small acts of kindness crystallize into a rich understanding of Korean culture." --Kirkus Reviews

"This warm exploration of family and community connections will feel extra familiar to multilingual readers while also speaking to the power of bonds we all share." --Booklist

"...tenderly embodies jeong through the eyes of a Korean American girl, who learns how one small word holds so much meaning: thoughtfulness, understanding, and connection."--The Bulletin
