Visits to Auntie and Uncle Yang's home in Illinois are always filled with family, food, games, and fun. One weekend, the whole family goes on a car trip through the countryside when Auntie Yang spots something she has never seen before in Illinois--soybeans, one of their favorite Chinese foods! At home they enjoy their very first soybean picnic, not realizing it will soon turn into an annual community event.

Perfect for the classroom, Lo introduces an array of Chinese and Chinese American traditions accompanied with illustrations on ceramic plates--yum!
