Description

Cora loves being in the kitchen, but she at all times gets stuck doing the kid jobs like licking the spoon. Someday, alternatively, when her older sisters and brother head out, Cora in the end gets the chance to be Mama’s assistant chef. And of all of the delicious Filipino dishes that dance through Cora’s head, she and Mama come to a decision to make pancit, her favorite noodle dish. With Mama’s help, Cora does the grown-up jobs like shredding the chicken and soaking the noodles (most likely Mama would possibly not notice if she takes a nibble of chicken or sloshes a little water on the floor). Cora even gets to stir the noodles in the pot—carefully– even as Mama supervises. When dinner is in the end served, her siblings find out that Cora did all their grown-up tasks, and Cora waits anxiously to see what everyone thinks of her cooking.Dorina Lazo Gilmore’s text delightfully captures the warmth between mother and daughter as they share a piece of their Filipino heritage. With bright and charming illustrations by Kristi Valiant, Cora’s circle of relatives comes alive as Cora herself becomes the circle of relatives’s newest little chef.
