"Sharing isn''t always caring, but affection and scheming go hand in hand in this sweetly hilarious tale." --Kirkus Reviews, ''Best Books of the Year'' "Kim Hyo-eun''s delicious How We Share Cake, her second Korean import after the award-winning I Am the Subway .focuses on the pursuit of familial fairness . stylized pencil, watercolor, and collage illustrations--outlined in black and white, strategically enhanced with detailed colors and patterns--are reminiscent of comic panels with their generous use of white space, whimsy, and humor." --Terry Hong, Shelf Awareness, starred review "In this clever, humorous Korean import, a young girl describes how she and her two brothers and two sisters share things fairly." --Horn Book Review, starred review "In a family of five siblings, this book''s narrator--the second-oldest--describes how ''we can split anything'' . Kim employs pencil and watercolor textures in sweetly amusing spreads that show how a wealth of items are allotted, in this moving work about divisions and connections." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "Translated from Korean, the first-person narrative with a light STEM theme blends comical and earnest sentiments, which are charmingly reflected in the softly coloured cartoon illustrations playfully incorporating ways of dividing many things in fifths .
the relatable experience of having to share with family, along with its joys and challenges, comes through in an entertaining fashion." -- Booklist "This was such a lovely read, from the author of I Am the Subway. As a sibling myself, I know what it was like to share cake, hot buns, and everything with my younger siblings. Everything Kim wants must be carefully calculated. I loved the measures and infinite ways in which everything can be shared into five equal pieces, it speaks volumes about equity and the sense of fairness every child possesses." -- GeekDad "A delicious and delightful book of siblings and what it means to share and try to be fair. I am reminded of a quote cousins taught my kids when they were little, ''you get what you get and you don''t throw a fit'' and yet it takes a lot of math, patience, and resilience to live this as truth." --Jesica Dehart, Neill Public Library "A perfect summation of interpersonal family dynamics rendered in whimsical pencil and watercolor illustrations.
Laugh out loud funny, the warmth that radiates from this picture book cannot be understated; How We Share Cake is sure to be a crowd pleaser at any read aloud!" --Taylor Carlton, Brazos Bookstore "A very appealing and funny picture book about siblings and learning to share." --Belmont Books "This is a gorgeously funny book about the timeless struggle for fairness and justice between siblings. It captures the delightful quirks of family dynamics -- the way siblings must jostle along together most of the time, and how special it is when, every now and then, each person gets their time in the sun." --Alice Ellerby, JUNO Magazine "A beautiful book about sharing and fractions and family and cake. Four of the best things in the world." --The Bookworm Inc. "This picture book is translated from Korean, with a few Korean words remaining for keen readers to learn.

For ages 3+." --Kim Gruschow, Readings Monthly "Kim Hyo-eun brilliantly captures the essence of family dynamics in this outstanding story.
