an own voices graphic novel debut from Lily LaMotte and Ann Xu! "A
beautiful story about food, family, and finding your place in the

Twelve-year-old Cici has just moved from Taiwan to Seattle, and the
only thing she wants more than to fit in at her new school is to
celebrate her grandmother, A-ma's, seventieth birthday together.
Since she can't go to A-ma, Cici cooks up a plan to bring A-ma to
her by winning the grand prize in a kids' cooking contest to pay
for A-ma's plane ticket! There's just one problem: Cici only knows
how to cook Taiwanese food. And after her pickled cucumber debacle
at lunch, she's determined to channel her inner Julia Child. Can
Cici find a winning recipe to reunite with A-ma, a way to fit in
with her new friends, and somehow find herself too? A Junior

Lily LaMotte, brilliant author of the graphic novel Measuring Up,
an ALA Top Ten, has written her debut picture book about a special
Lunar New Year feast. Perfect for fans of Bringing in the New Year
by Grace Lin and I Am Golden by Eva Chen. "Themes of love and
family underlie the snappy text." -Kirkus It's almost Lunar New
Year, and Chloe can't wait to celebrate! But first, Chloe and her
family must prepare for the new year. They buy new shoes, lay out
good-luck oranges in a bowl, decorate the red envelope, and make a
crispy turnip cake. Everyone comes together to cook a fantastic
feast, saving a plate for A-ma, of course. Chloe enjoys the festive
celebration and yummy food, but most of all, she loves spending
time with her family. Lily LaMotte and Michelle Lee have created a
tender, warm, and uplifting holiday story about tradition and the
importance of being with those you love. The backmatter contains
educational facts about the Lunar New Year celebration in Taiwan
and a fun recipe for a yummy fortune cake!
