Bookroo's summary

Fifth-grader Krista juggles her role as the 'Korean Ambassador' for Heritage Month, the pressure of involving her stern grandma in a school project, and the strain on her friendship with Jason. As new friends pull her in different directions, Krista must navigate cultural pride and personal connections. Will she find a way to honor her heritage and maintain her closest friendship?

From the publisher

Krista and Jason have been best friends since preschool. It never mattered that he was a boy with reddish brown hair and she was “the Korean girl” at school. Now in fifth grade, everyone in their class is preparing their Heritage Month projects. Jason has always loved Krista’s Korean family, and particularly her mom’s cooking, but Krista is conflicted about being her school’s “Korean Ambassador.” She’s also worried about asking her intimidating grandma to teach the class how to cook their traditional kim-bap. Combine that with her new friends pulling her away from Jason, and Krista has a lot to deal with this year!
