An adorable story about a family coming together for a Thanksgiving meal.
A young girl helps her mother shop for Thanksgiving. They have one list for the Korean market and one for the local market. It isn’t until they are all together enjoying the meal that the girl sees there may have been two lists but they are one family.
A lovely story. Heartwarming and delightful. Wonderfully written.
The book explores different dishes and ingredients from both Korean and American culture. The narration incorporates different senses as the family enjoys their meal together.
Gorgeous artwork, soft and soothing. The illustrations are sure to make you hungry.
Includes recipes for japchae and stuffing at the end as well as a glossary of Korean terms used in the text and an Author’s Note.
A beautiful, heartfelt story perfect for the holiday season.
