Everyone loves lunchtime but Zia / Jenny Liao ; illustrated by Dream Chen.
Everyone loves lunchtime. Everyone but Zia. At home, Zia loves the sweet and sour aromas and the crispy and slippery textures of the Cantonese dishes her parents cook. But at school, she's shy about eating her favorite foods since her dumplings and noodles look and smell different from her classmates' lunches. Then, for one week, Zia's parents pack her a different Cantonese dish every day, each with a special meaning. As she takes bites of her roast pork buns, soy sauce chicken, and more, she starts seeing their meanings come to life! Everyone Loves Lunchtime but Zia is a mouthwatering celebration of Cantonese food and a heartwarming story about being your authentic self in every setting. -- Provided by publisher.
