Why a Booktrail?
Distance is nothing when a letter to the one you love is making the journey
Dear Juno
What you need to know before your trail
Juno’s grandmother writes in Korean and Juno writes in drawings, but that doesn’t mean they can’t exchange letters. From the photo his grandmother sends him, Juno can tell that she has a new cat. From the picture he makes for her, Juno’s grandmother can tell that he wants her to come for a visit. So she sends Juno a miniature plane, to let him know she’s on the way.
The author, Soyung Pak was born in Seoul, South Korea, but spent her childhood in the suburbs of southern New Jersey.
Travel Guide
A story about communication in all its forms both pictures, words, gestures and ideas. A love that can travel across geographic, cultural and generational distances . This is the lovely idea that love can be packaged into an envelope and can join two people no matter where they are in the world.
Watch the child’s eyes as she opens a letter from her Korean grandmother and the light from the envelope shines brightly. Now if this is not the real meaning of travel and the world being a smaller place, we don’t know what is.
