Mixed-Up Mooncakes

This heartwarming picture book celebrates family, multicultural heritage, and the autumn season as a young girl prepares for both the Jewish holiday of Sukkot and the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival.

It’s time for Ruby’s family to celebrate two extra-special harvest holidays. For the Mid-Autumn Festival, she and Nainai, her grandmother, pick out fruits, nuts, and red chrysanthemums from the market. And with Zayde, her grandfather, she gets a lulav and etrog from the store for Sukkot.

But something is missing to bind the two celebrations together. Can Ruby figure out the perfect way to blend Sukkot and the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Authors’ notes, a recipe, and additional holiday are information included in the back matter.
