The Cook's Family

The Cook's Family tells the poignant story of Robin, a young girl grappling with the increasing tension of her parents' arguments. Seeking refuge, Robin and her grandmother embark on regular visits to Chinatown, where they engage in a heartwarming pretense: they become the family of an elderly cook. This imaginative escape not only provides Robin with a sense of belonging and stability but also serves as a gentle introduction to her rich Chinese heritage. The book sensitively explores themes of family strain, cultural identity, and the comforting power of intergenerational bonds, making it suitable for children navigating similar family dynamics or those interested in cultural exploration.
