Almond Cookies and Dragon Well Tea by Cynthia Chin-Lee, illustrated by You Shan Tang [in What Do I Read Next? Multicultural Literature]
Erica visits Nancy’s house where she tastes almond cookies and dragon well tea, sees a family altar, and hears a Chinese zither – all for the first time. But rather than the many differences she first expected, Erica realizes that Nancy’s home and family and her own home and family are not too different from each other.
