Fortune Cookies for Everyone!: The Surprising Story of the Tasty Treat We Love to Eat

Mia Wenjen, illustrated by Collen Kong-Savage

During a takeout meal, Grandma Miyako gives fortune cookies to her grandchildren and begins telling them about the treat's disputed past. She says she knew its true inventor, but the history proves less certain than it first appears. Organized with fortunes as section headings, the book explores competing accounts of where and when fortune cookies began. California is identified as the location, while the question of which city housed the original baker remains open.
