How We Share Cake

Kim Hyo-eun (trans. Deborah Smith)

‘In a family of five siblings, this book’s narrator — the second-oldest — describes how “we can split anything” … Kim employs pencil and watercolour textures in sweetly amusing spreads that show how a wealth of items are allotted, in this moving work about divisions and connections.’
