(2) K-3 Illustrated by Sienna Youngsun Kim. “I smell soy and garlic-braised galbi and sage roasted turkey with stuffing.” A ­biracial girl and her mother prepare to host Thanksgiving for both sides of the family. In a sensory-rich text, the enthusiastic narrator describes visiting the local grocery store and the Korean market, cooking all day, and welcoming grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. As they all gather, she sees “one family around one dinner table.” Appealing illustrations in an autumnal palette reflect the story’s cultural pride. A glossary, an author’s note, and recipes for japchae and stuffing are appended.
