Ren has always been too little to help make her favorite pineapple cakes for the Lunar New Year, but when her one-of-a-kind brother Charlie arrives for the festivities, with his help, she finally gets her chance. Includes recipe for pineapple cakes
Why I like this book: A Sweet Lunar Year for Ren is a great book for looking at the theme of overcoming fears as the main character struggles to make a cake. The recipe in the back lets readers continue to learn about the culture.
