Legendary Cakes

Two young siblings learn the story behind traditional Tết (Vietnamese New Year) cakes in Legendary Cakes, a captivating picture book from author/illustrator Kerisa Greene.

Spring is almost here and Tết is even closer.
A celebration for the first morning of the first
day of the new year.

It's almost time for Tết, the Vietnamese New Year, which for two excited siblings means a sleepover at their Bà's house, where she will teach them to make bánh chưng, the traditional New Year cakes. When the cakes take forever to steam and the boredom starts to set in, Bà begins to tell the thrilling tale of an ancient prince, a contest, and how bánh chưng came to be.

Legendary Cakes is a mouth-watering celebration of how food, stories, and holidays keep cultures alive for future generations.
