Synopsis
Each book in the "Family Ties" series explores a particular aspect of how families stay together, play together, learn together, grow together, and resolve conflicts together.
The series celebrates the differences among various cultures, both here and abroad, while emphasizing the similarities among them all. Readers learn how our values emerge and are expressed through holidays, food, stories, and especially through what we are taught by parents and teachers.
Name your favorite food! Our history as a nation of immigrants is revealed through recipes, which are passed down from generation to generation. Here families of different ethnic backgrounds share delicious recipes, diverse culinary traditions, and favorite stories. Best of all, though, are the actual recipes with easy-to-follow instructions so children can make the foods they read about.
