“Duck or Turkey” by Jacqueline Jules
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and Tuyet can’t wait for the holiday and the break from school. However, there’s a little issue: her Vietnamese American family has decided to serve duck for Thanksgiving dinner instead of turkey! It’s unusual to have duck for Thanksgiving – what will her teacher and the other kids say?
To her surprise, Tuyet enjoys her yummy thanksgiving dinner anyhow – and an even bigger surprise is waiting for her at school on Monday.
Children from diverse backgrounds will appreciate this heartwarming tale about the “proper way” to celebrate an American holiday.
Advance registration required, space is limited.
