Based on Zed's great-grandmother's true, heroic story, this book invites kids (and their parents) to join Mèng, a Chinese American girl, and her dad at their Chinese New Year dinner preparation. While enjoying yummy snacks, you can discover Zed’s family legend — the most important ancestor without a name — and the legacy of kindness she left behind. By remembering the great-grandmother’s act of courage, where she sacrificed her dignity to save a life, and enjoying the snack she loved so much, we honor our ancestors and celebrate our traditions.
