Children follow along as Hwa and Grandma work together in the garden, harvest fresh soybeans, and transform them into homemade tofu through clear, step-by-step visuals. The simple narrative introduces cooking vocabulary and cultural traditions while celebrating the patience required to create food from scratch. Little hands will enjoy turning the sturdy pages to discover each stage of this culinary journey.
