about their unbelievable experiences as kids during the Korean War. Junie comes

to admire her grandma’s fierce determination to overcome impossible odds, and

her grandpa’s unwavering compassion during wartime. And as racism becomes more

pervasive at school, Junie taps into the strength of her

ancestors and finds the courage to do what is right.

all of us lies the power to overcome hardship and emerge triumphant.
