It Will Change The Way You Look At Boba Tea Becoming Boba From YA Author Joanna Ho

A sweet, bubbly tale about a young boba tea who learns that being you is being enough! A heartwarming new picture book by Joanna Ho, the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of Eyes That Kiss in the Corners that invites readers on a colorful journey of self-discovery. This charming tale celebrates self-love and identity, skillfully weaving in themes of Asian American experience and history. Illustrated by New York Times bestselling illustrator Amber Ren, this delightful story reminds readers that there’s always room for unique flavors in our communities. Milk Tea Town was steeped in tradition. That is, until... Mindy came along. Mindy isn't like the other classic milk tea flavors, with their sensible straws and varying shades of brown. Instead, Mindy shines with her green, white and red colors. Worried about not being milk tea enough, Mindy decides to dive into their history so she can be less different. As she and her friends embark on this journey, they make a surprising discovery about the truth behind milk tea that could change the town forever. These cute boba characters and the charming Milk Tea Town tell the story of many immigrants, Asian or otherwise, who have grown up in their communities feeling like they're not Asian enough. BECOMING BOBA gently dismantles that argument by showing that people, like milk tea, are ever changing and more vibrant for it.
