Though some Thanksgiving meals can be pretty routine, some home chefs get a bit more adventurous. And since it includes a couple of feasts fit for eleven kids (and featuring some actual dumplings), we’re counting it as a food book. But the book also looks at the one sister to the dumplings, growing up in the shadow of her brothers and making her own way in life. Ten Little Dumplings by Larissa Fan and Cindy Wume is not about literal dumplings, but ten sons in a Taiwanese family who have that nickname (as having both sons and dumplings is auspicious). So he becomes the play’s costume manager until he figures out a favorite food that will also be familiar to Thanksgiving diners. Only one problem: Frankie can’t decide because he loves so many foods. And that’s the case in Frankie’s Favorite Food by Kelsey Garrity-Riley, where the school play will feature kids dressed as their favorite foods. Anyone who has had Thanksgiving dinner with family knows mealtimes can be filled with drama.
