Letters in two languages

Juno and his grandmother find a way to exchange messages across a language difference: she writes in Korean, while he communicates through drawings. Their letters convey small pieces of family news and a wish for a visit, with pictures carrying meaning that words alone do not. The exchange offers a child-sized glimpse of connection across generations and distance, grounded in the everyday bond between a grandchild and his grandmother.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in family stories and relationships across generations.
  • Young readers exploring how pictures and words can communicate across language differences.
  • Families seeking a picture-book introduction to Korean language and cross-cultural connection.

Book overview

Juno's grandmother writes in Korean and Juno writes in drawings, but that doesn't mean they can't exchange letters. From the photo his grandmother sends him, Juno can tell that she has a new cat. From the picture he makes for her, Juno's grandmother can tell that he wants her to come for a visit. So she sends Juno a miniature plane, to let him know she's on the way. This tender tale won the author an Ezra Jack Keats award, and is a perfect introduction to the concept of foreign cultures and far-off lands.
