Early each morning Mike and his family drive to the city with their food cart. They sell bagels and orange juice for breakfast, hot dogs and pizza for lunch. Mike passes the time by drawing pictures, and Grandma sits in the shade, fanning herself and missing life back home in Korea. One day two other food carts show up on the family’s street corner, and all three carts serve the same American foods. During the summer business dwindles away, and Mike’s worried parents start thinking about giving up their cart. Finally Mike comes up with the idea of serving Korean food from their cart, and with the help of Grandma, the family finds a new way to feel at home in America. Brimming with love and warmth, The Have a Good Day Cafe is a tribute to the resourcefulness of new immigrants everywhere. Readers will be delighted by this mouth-watering celebration of family and culture.
