Annotation:
It is a realistic fiction setting in America. A Vietnamese girl Tuyet was disappointed her family serve duck instead of turkey at dinner at the Thanksgiving holiday. She even felt shame to tell her peers at school. But soon after, she realized other ethnic families are all celebrating in their own way. The book emphasizes “It doesn't matter what you eat on Thanksgiving, as long as you have a good time with family and friends." This story will be able to relate to many children from migrant families. It will be a great book to teach children how to face this kind of “differences”. Authors use bright colours and simple shapes illustrations featuring characters. Children will be engaged visually. It’s great for children at their 5-8 years old.
