    A young biracial girl joyfully celebrates both her Black and Korean cultures the best way she knows how—with the irresistible power of food!

    Hana is faced with a conundrum: what scrumptious dinner should she make for her four grandparents who are all coming for a visit? This dish isn't yummy enough, that one isn't special enough . . . What's an aspiring chef to do? Her mother tells her to cook what makes her heart happy, so Hana thinks hard.

    She remembers the savory gumbo that she made with Grandma and Grandpa Williams when she visited them in the South. Then she reminisces about the sweet and spicy stew she made with Halmoni and Harabeoji during her trip to Seoul. Feeling inspired, Hana creates a dish that brings together the best flavors of her two cultures in a mouthwatering new way, and her grandparents couldn't be prouder!
    Erin Danielle Russell loves writing and cooking, and especially enjoys an opportunity to write about cooking. She knew she wanted to be an author since she was 6, and spent her childhood writing stories about her imaginary friend, Melody, and anime fanfiction. She is the author of How to Trick the Tooth Fairy and will always believe in magic. She lives in the Midwest with her husband, Jacob, and her pet teddy bear, Stanley.

    Tamisha is an art teacher and illustrator who received her bachelor’s degree in psychology and visual arts from Rice University and her master’s degree in computer art from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. She maintains her childlike wonder as an educator for the New York Historical Society and Harlem School of the Arts. Tamisha also enjoys vintage art, clothes, and jazz swing dancing.
