Legendary Cakes : A Story of Tét, the Vietnamese New Year

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

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

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

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