This episode we’re talking about everyone’s favorite cooking staple and condiment (please don’t @ us if it’s not your fave) soy sauce, with author and illustrator Laura G. Lee who has a new children’s book by the same name. 

We talk with Laura about growing up in West Virginia among mostly blond-haired blue eyed children, her parents' decision not to pass along the Korean language, and her mother’s use of soy sauce in just about everything. 

We of course talk about Laura’s beautiful book–painted with real soy sauce– her many visits to schools and classrooms to share the book with kids, and the emotional intelligence of kids to not yuck yums.
