Home in a lunchbox / by Cherry Mo.

Mo, Cherry, (author,, illustrator.).

Summary:

"When Jun moves from Hong Kong to America, the only words she knows are hello, thank you, I don't know, and toilet. Her new school feels foreign and terrifying. But when she opens her lunchbox to find her favorite meals -- like bao, dumplings, and bok choy -- she realizes home isn't so far away after all."-- Front jacket flap.
