Mixed-up Mooncakes

Christina Matula, Erica Lyons, illustrated by Tracy Subisak

Ruby, a biracial Asian and white child, prepares for two harvest celebrations with her family. With Nainai, she gets ready for the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival; with Zayde, she prepares for the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. Ruby recognizes meaning in the foods and decorations of both occasions, and wants to connect the celebrations in a personal way. With help from her Chinese grandmother and Jewish grandfather, she combines recipes for mooncakes served beneath the sukkah. Notes provide information about the festivals and the recipe.
