Description

Two grandmas. Two delicious recipes. And one granddaughter caught in the middle!

Sophie loves Bubbe's Jewish chicken soup, made with kreplach. She also loves Nai Nai's Chinese chicken soup, with wonton. But don't tell Bubbe and Nai Nai that their soups are the same! Can Sophie bring her whole family together for a warm and tasty surprise? An inclusive look at a multicultural family, and a little girl's unique approach to combining her family's traditions. The book includes three chicken soup recipes at the end.

"[T]he good feelings (and good tastes) that it brings to mind are cooked just right for families like Sophie's--and everyone else--to enjoy."--Kirkus Reviews

"This family's story, lovingly depicted in the colorful illustrations, should resonate across cultures."--The Horn Book Guide

"This is a wonderful book both for multiethnic families and for developing sensitivity to multiethnic families as well as for anyone interested in cultural similarities in food. Watercolor and pencil illustrations are cheery and bright, with wonderful endpapers which enhance the book's artistic feel."--Jewish Book Council
