Everyone Loves Lunchtime but Zia

This is a heartwarming picture book about a Chinese-American girl who learns to appreciate her parents’ traditional dishes and shares them with her classmates.

At school, Zia dreads lunchtime because her dumpling and noodle dishes look and smell different from the other kids’ sandwiches and snacks. But during her birthday week, her parents pack her a different Cantonese dish each day with symbolic meanings. Initially hesitant, Zia starts eating and may discover that her food brings her good fortune.
