Critical praise:
“Tea Leaf Eggs has the most authentic and compassionate portrayal of an elder that I’ve seen in a picture book. Hong’s quietly beautiful story shows how love and memory live in our favorite foods, and how we as a community can carry one another through loss. This tender — and delicious — tale will open young hearts.”
