A young girl shops with her mother on a Saturday morning to buy ingredients to make dinner. It is a celebration because it is the one day of the week that everyone is home -Mom, Dad, Grandma, and the girl narrator. The family recently moved from China to NYC. Throughout the book the girl shares her struggle in adjusting. As they shop, the mom creates metaphors and similes to cleverly engage her daughter and to ease her discomfort in the new city.
-Borrowed from the library.
