Junie Kim just wants to fit in.
So she keeps her head down and tries not to draw attention to herself. But when
racist graffiti appears at her middle school, Junie must decide between staying
silent or speaking out.
Then Junie’s history teacher
assigns a project and Junie decides to interview her grandparents, learning
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.
Finding
Junie Kim is a reminder that within
all of us lies the power to overcome hardship and emerge triumphant.
