It’s almost time for Chuseok! Hana loves wearing her traditional Korean hanbok, with its big, billowy skirt and soft rustle. But Hana and Eomma have moved from a bustling city to a small town, and nothing is the same. Worse, Hana’s hanbok is now too small! When the hanbok she orders doesn’t fit, Hana comes up with a sweet solution that blends new and old—perfect for this year’s celebration. Lively illustrations enhance this story of creating new traditions and finding community. Back matter includes more details about Korean hanbok and Chuseok.
