How My Parents Learned to Eat by Ina R. Friedman
5.0
A girl explains why her family eats with knife and fork some days and others they use chopsticks. It all comes down to how her parents met in Japan, where her American father was staying as a sailor and her Japanese mother attended school.
Differences and misunderstandings are overcome, and a wish to share in each other's cultures created the girl's family, which is just a little different.
I really enjoyed the story, which could well be an adult novel, too, and Allen Say's illustrations are realistic and beautiful, and capture the story well.
