"Project Mulberry" by Linda Sue Park centers around a seventh-grader named Julia Song, who is of Korean descent, as she navigates friendships, cultural identity, and the challenges of a school project. Julia embarks on a science project with her friend Patrick to raise silkworms. Through their collaboration, Julia reflects on her cultural heritage and the significance of the mulberry tree which is crucial to the silkworm's life cycle. The story beautifully intertwines themes of friendship, responsibility, and self-discovery, exploring how multicultural backgrounds shape one’s identity and understanding of the world.
