Great book for kids and adults

Nice way to learn about Korean foods, words, writing, and activities to prepare some of the dishes. Very nice for us American born Koreans. And for anybody who loves Korean foods and wants to learn some simple things about good common dishes to order.

A beautiful book

The art is wonderful and the cultural information is so wonderful too. Everyone likes to see their culture represented and shared with others.

Beautifully written and illustrated book!

Not only do I love that this book exists and that there's finally an English language picture book about Korean food that is written by a Korean American author, I also love that "A Very Asian Guide to Korean Food" is well written with gorgeous illustrations and has a lot of accurate details. I also noticed and appreciate how the characters enjoying and eating the food in the book are of different races and skin tones, reflecting the diversity of many families and social circles. This book is a much-needed and welcome addition to the increasingly diverse array of children's books that reflect and represent the experiences of Korean Americans and of the Korean diaspora.

I’m a 3rd grade teacher and a huge priority for me is to have a diverse library full of books that pertain beautiful and authentic representations of every culture. This book is the perfect addition and my students are obsessed with it. Cannot recommend enough.

I Wish I Had This Book When I Was A Kid

As a transracial adoptee from Korea, reading through this book was healing to my inner child. I loved the illustrations and the pronunciations. I think it’s amazing how many people will get to experience Korean food because of this book!

Love it! Read it to my daughter's class!

We LOVE this book! We just read it to my daughter's kindergarten class, as they are learning about different cultures and backgrounds. It was a great way to get other (non-Korean) kids acquainted with not only Korean foods, but the pronunciation of Korean words (and they were great at it!). It was awesome to see my daughter share her Korean heritage with her classmates in a tangible way. Most of the kids in the classroom said "hotteok" was their favorite food from the book; "bingsoo" was a close second. Thank you again for making this food with beautiful illustrations!

Amazing

My kids are obsessed with this book. They love being able to put a more accessible picture and story to some of the foods they eat and why we eat them. And now they can point out which foods they want to eat when my mom comes to visit.

A Very Asian Guide to Korean Food

I’m overjoyed with this book. The illustrations remind me of the old Korean folk tale books I read when I was younger. This is a very timely book in our household as my kids are starting to fully embrace their Korean culture.

It really intrigued my 8yr old

First, I absolutely love the illustrations. Every page is chock full of information and my daughter went back a few times to look at specific pages again. A week or so after reading the book, we were listening to a story that mentions lots of Korean foods and she got really excited that she recognized a bunch of them!
