Apple Pie Fourth of July
by Janet S. Wong (Author) and Margaret Chodos-Irvine (Illustrator)
Booktalk: Shocked that her parents are cooking Chinese food to sell in the family store on an all-American holiday, a feisty Chinese American girl tries to tell her mother and father how things really are. But as the parade passes by and fireworks light the sky, she learns a surprising lesson.
A picture book classic from 2006! Enjoy the Fourth!
Snippet: Chow mein!
Chinese food on the Fourth of July?
No one wants Chinese food
on the Fourth of July, I say.
Fireworks are Chinese, Father says,
and hands me a pan of sweet-and-sour pork.
