Nervous about visiting her grandmother in Taipei, Taiwan, a young girl soon adjusts to her unfamiliar surroundings and enjoys the adventure.

A cookbook that is partly historical, partly memoir, Mama Lieu's Kitchen looks at the food that was central to life and culture in Taiwan. The book journeys through Ruth Lieu's childhood in Taipei during World War II, her teenage years in the postwar 1950s, and continues to the 1960s in the U.S. Ruth vividly describes the food she and her family ate during World War II-- from the bottle of cooked flour with sugar each child carried to tide them over while huddled in bomb shelters to lean postwar years of monotonous lunches of boiled rice with salted, pickled white turnip and egg, which her mother packed for her six brothers and sisters. Heartwarming stories of family, friends, and neighbors helping each during the tough times weave through the narrative. This book is dedicated to Ruth's three children, Tina, Clara, and Derek, who still call her from far- flung places asking, "Mama, how do you make...?"

A fresh new look for this modern classic by the Newbery-Award winning and bestselling author of Where the Mountain Meets the Moon Pacy is back! The beloved heroine of The Year of the Dog and The Year of the Rat has returned in a brand new story. This summer, Pacy's family is going to Taiwan for an entire month to visit family and prepare for their grandmother's 60th birthday celebration. Pacy's parents have signed her up for a Chinese painting class, and at first she's excited. This is a new way to explore her art talent! But everything about the trip is harder than she thought it would be--she looks like everyone else but can't speak the language, she has trouble following the art teacher's instructions, and it's difficult to make friends in her class. At least the dumplings are delicious... As the month passes by, Pacy eats chicken feet (by accident!), gets blessed by a fortune teller, searches for her true identity, and grows closer to those who matter most.

In the latest body of work by author and photographer Claiborne Swanson Frank, the artist set out to explore what modern motherhood means in the 21st century. Turning her lens on 70 iconic families of mothers and children from such celebrated names as Delfina Figueras, Carolina Herrera, Lauren Santo Domingo, Anne Vyalitsyna, Aerin Lauder, and Patti Hansen, Swanson Frank’s stunning portraits capture the emotional bonds and beauty that frame the primal relationship of a mother and her child. Complementing her work is a series of questions-and-answers, in which Swanson Frank delicately tasks each mother to look within themselves and express what being a mother truly means to them. Their answers, while exceedingly thoughtful and introspective, are also amusing, fascinating, and moving. Each one of these deeply intimate and stunning portraits will captivate and inspire readers as they embark on this profound journey that reminds us all of the power of motherhood and the great gift of love.
