Sharing a delicious meal helps a family connect in this loving tribute to Chinatown grocery stores and spending days-off together. On a rainy Saturday, a young girl feels as gray as a pigeon. Since moving from China to Brooklyn, Mom, Dad, and Grandma have been too busy working. But a trip to Mom's favorite Chinatown market, where there are "vegetables in a hundred greens" and "silver fish on crunchy white ice," might just be what the girl needs to feel connected again. After a long day of shopping, they cook up a savory meal of mushroom and bok choy, thin slices of bitter melon, fragrant ponds of broth, and seafood--almost like being back in China. A final dream spread shows the family walking hand-in-hand in rainbow colors, an affirmation of love and support even on rainy, gray days. Inspired by Qing Zhuang's experience as a first generation Chinese American, Rainbow Shopping explores how sharing a meal together can be a source of comfort and connection to loved ones, near and far.
