Description : Cora Cooks Pancit. Beautifully illustrated, Cora Cooks Pancit tells the story of a young girl who learns her Filipino family culture through cooking pancit noodles with her mother. Enjoy storytime and a pancit noodle recipe.
Cora loves being in the kitchen, but she always gets stuck doing the kid jobs like licking the spoon. One day, however, when her older sisters and brother head out, Cora finally gets the chance to be Mama's assistant chef. And of all the delicious Filipino dishes that dance through Cora's head, she and Mama decide to make pancit, her favorite noodle dish.
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 family comes alive as Cora herself becomes the family's newest little chef.
Dorina Lazo Gilmore has a B.A. in English and Journalism and is completing an M.F.A. degree in Children's Literature at Hollins University.
Publisher Shen's Books, Illustrated by Kristi Valiant, $17.95, Hardcover, 32 page, Ages 4-8
