About This Book
A little girl is embarrassed that her mother's garden is full of strange-looking Chinese vegetables while all the neighbors grow beautiful flowers. But when her mother makes a fragrant pot of Chinese vegetable soup that draws the whole neighborhood together, she discovers that her family's garden is special in its own wonderful way.
