"A frank and fulfilling journey of self-acceptance. A young biracial American girl struggles with her Chinese heritage in Stad's debut picture book." - Kirkus Reviews


The Flavor of Belonging in Culturally Diverse Families. Jade is a girl who lives in two worlds and, coming from a multicultural family, she's on a quest to understand her identity and where she truly belongs.


She is trying to find her place in the world but feels different from the other kids at school. Back home, Jade's parents have their unique approach to love and care. Sometimes Jade is embarrassed by Mama's accent and she can't understand why she is not just like any other mother she knows.


The real adventure unfolds when Jade starts rebelling against her mother's traditional ways of showing love, especially through food. It's a struggle that takes her on a path of discovery, as she learns about her family's rich heritage and her mother's challenging past in Vietnam and as an immigrant.


Jade then discovers that even though Mama doesn't hug or say I love you, the healing aroma of ginger, green onions, and chicken broth does.


"Mama's Love Language" is a heartwarming children's book that addresses the universal theme of belonging and the beauty of cultural diversity. Through Jade's story, children will learn that being different is not only okay but something to be celebrated, and that love can come in many shapes and forms.


This book is ideal for children the ages of 4-9
