Ganador del premio New Voices de Lee & Low, El frasco de Juna es una conmovedora y caprichosa celebración de la amistad y el poder de la imaginación.
A Juna y su mejor amigo, Héctor, les encanta ir de aventuras al parque, donde recolectan cosas para ponerlas en frascos vacíos de kimchi. Un día, Héctor se muda inesperadamente y Juna se pregunta quién jugará con ella. Con la ayuda de su frasco especial, Juna busca a su amigo por todo el mundo. Pero Juna descubre que aventuras y nuevos amigos se pueden encontrar en los lugares más inesperados.
