书籍简介

这本感人的图画书讲述了一位美籍华人女孩逐渐学会欣赏父母为她准备的传统菜肴，并想方设法与同学分享午餐。

每个人都喜欢午餐时间。每个人，也就是说，但 Zia。

在学校，其他孩子正在吃花生酱和果冻三明治、奶酪和饼干，还有苹果。但是 Zia 总是对打开午餐盒感到紧张。她的饺子和面条看起来不一样，闻起来也不一样。她害怕午餐时间。

然后，在她的生日那一周，她的父母每天给她准备一道不同的粤菜，并解释这些食物代表什么：烧肉包带来宝藏，酱油鸡带来成功，等等。起初，Zia 不想吃午餐，但一旦她开始吃，她可能就会意识到她的食物毕竟可以给她带来好运！

A heartwarming picture book about a Chinese-American girl who grows to appreciate the traditional dishes her parents prepare for her and finds a way to share her lunch with her classmates.

Everyone loves lunchtime. Everyone, that is, but Zia.

At school, the other kids are eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, cheese and crackers, and apples on the side. But Zia's always nervous about opening her lunchbox. Her dumpling and noodle dishes look different and smell different. She dreads lunchtime.

Then, during her birthday week, her parents pack her a different Cantonese dish each day and explain what the food represents: a roast pork bun to bring treasure, soy sauce chicken to bring success, and more. At first, Zia doesn't want to eat her lunch, but once she starts, she just may realize her food could bring her good fortune after all!
