Description
On Thanksgiving, Tuyet is sure something is “wrong” when her Vietnamese family serves duck instead of turkey, and her disappointment quickly turns into worry about fitting in. As she navigates the expectations of school and the comfort of home, Tuyet discovers that her classmates’ traditions are just as varied as her own—and that food can be a bridge rather than a barrier. With warmth and humor, this story explores cultural identity, family traditions, and the way community can reshape what we think we know. Jacqueline Jules captures the everyday emotions of childhood with a gentle, inclusive sensibility that makes this holiday tale both relatable and reassuring.
