Laab You More Book

Laab You More is a heartwarming story that takes readers on a flavorful journey through the kitchens and culture of a Laotian American family. For many immigrant parents, “Have you eaten yet?” is more than a question—it’s a universal expression of love and care.

This beautifully illustrated book explores the significance of food in bridging generations and cultures. From the vibrant herbs in laab to the fragrant steam of sticky rice, every dish prepared by a relative tells a story of heritage and connection.

Filled with delightful reminders of unconditional love, this book invites children and parents alike to celebrate the way food nourishes not just the body, but the heart.

Perfect for readers who love stories about family, culture, and the shared joy of a good meal.
