Mindy Kim and the Lunar New Year Parade by Lyla Lee
4.0
Mindy Kim has my whole heart! This is the second book of the Mindy Kim series and this is just as charming and wholesome.
- Follows Mindy during Lunar New Year - the first year without her mother. When Mindy, her best friend Sally, and her father go to the Lunar New Year parade, they bump into her Appa's coworker -- and they end up spending Lunar New Year together!
- This story is about how Mindy shares that part of her life with the people she cares about. It's simple, but I also liked how the story examines what it's like to not see parts of yourself in something that is meant for you, and why representation and inclusion are so important.
- Gah, this book is just so charming and has me all *pleading emoji*. I just loved how simple and sweet the story is, which is perfect for young readers, especially young Korean readers!
- The little sparks between Mindy's father and his co-worker were adorable -- and even more so how shy Appa was? We love a soft Asian dad!
- Once again, the illustrations are so adorable. I loved seeing Mindy in her little hanbok. She was ADORABLE.
