Stack Overflow: 3 Books for June
As school ends, people start focusing on Summer, and fewer books come out. July and August will have way more to offer. Nevertheless, these three are worth a read!
Let's start with picture books:
Becoming Boba by Joanna Ho (Author), Amber Ren (Illustrator)
This is a lovely take on a trendy topic: bubble tea! Told as a parable of mixed race and the importance of new customs, it tells the story of Mindy, a new addition to Milk Tea Town.
Mindy is different from the classic milk tea flavors, she shines with her green, white, and red colors. But she is worried about fitting in, and that is why she wants to know about her ancestors… and her search will lead her to uncover a story of a family that chose to defy tradition in order to be together.
The best thing is the illustrations, because they are all Kawaii in their cuteness and varied enough to entertain anybody.
Becoming Boba is on sale since June 03, 2025.
