Fortune Cookie Fortunes

Grace Lin. Alfred A. Knopf, $15.95 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-375-81521-8

Grace Lin's illustrations also fill the pages of Fortune Cookie Fortunes (along with her text), a follow-up to Dim Sum for Everyone! Here Pacy and her family examine their fortune cookies after their meal, and the girl observes that each of their fortunes comes true in a different way (e.g., a garden full of pumpkins and peapods that dwarf Ma-Ma confirm ""Attention and care will make great things happen"").
