"Dear Juno" by Soyung Pak tells the heartwarming story of a young boy named Juno who lives in the United States, far from his grandmother in Korea. Juno and his halmoni (grandmother) communicate through letters, but there's a barrier—they don't speak the same language. Using pictures and simple words, Juno writes to her, sharing his day-to-day adventures. His grandmother replies with colorful illustrations, bridging the gap between their cultures and languages. The story beautifully highlights the themes of family, love, and the importance of communication, showcasing how connections can thrive despite physical and linguistic distances.
