In this colorful celebration of culture, community, and the food that binds us all together, follow a young boy on a culinary tour of New York City, perfect for fans of All Are Welcome and Where Are You From?

What is home? To one child, home is this street he knows better than any other. Where his family has lived for as long as he can remember.

But to another . . . home is also another place. Where she lived when she was a child. Far away, yet close enough in memory.

Or maybe home is a place they never saw themselves. That only grandparents or great-grandparents knew. And maybe, home is not a place at all. Maybe home is people, who gather to share, and celebrate.

Follow a group of children as they walk through urban streets and meet friends with immigrant parents and grandparents. Together, by picking up ingredients from all around the world, they begin to prepare a shared meal that celebrates the diversity of their city.

Christopher F. ★★★★★

My nephew loved tracing the boy's path through all the different neighborhoods, and it sparked a real conversation about trying new foods. The way the story weaves together culture and community feels genuine without being preachy.

Madison L. ★★★★★

The vibrant illustrations of the different New York City food stalls instantly caught my attention, and the message about community felt so warm and genuine. It’s a great book for sparking conversations with my kids about where our own favorite foods come from.

Violet ★★★★★

My son loved spotting the dumpling shop and the bodega on each page, and it actually made him curious about trying foods from different cultures. The story feels warm and genuine without being preachy.
