About This Book
"What do you have for dinner at your house?"
A picture book that lovingly captures the home cooking
of immigrant families from Mongolia, Japan, Egypt, and all around the world Let Me Tell You About My Mom's Cooking features ten immigrant families living in Korea. These families come from all corners of the globe. Amilang's family came from Mongolia, Yonggwan's family from Cambodia, and Soyun's family from Vietnam. What kinds of dishes appear on their dinner tables?
Children from each family introduce their moms and tell us about one dish their mom often makes. Norai tells us about basbousa, a sweet Egyptian pastry made with honey, while Amilang introduces guriltai shul, a warm Mongolian noodle soup. One after another, these distinctive and mouthwatering dishes unfold across the pages, sparking curiosity and making your mouth water.
Every dish in this book is based on actual recipes and meals prepared in each family's home. Author Ranju Lee, who spent years working with immigrant rights organizations, personally visited each family, tasted their cooking, and listened to their stories. Illustrator Raon Kim then brought those stories to life with color. As you savor the vibrant dishes from around the world on every page and take in the stories woven into each one, you come to realize that we live alongside a wonderfully diverse community of immigrants—and our immigrant neighbors begin to feel much closer to home. ★ Elementary Curriculum Connections ★
