"My sister Sallie is getting married," each page begins, as the young narrator describes the preparations for the wedding. She helps each of the guests prepare special food native to his or her country. Challah, tamales, biscotti, and, of course, a wedding cake are a few of the treats prepared. Cheerful watercolors outlined in soft gray express the participants' joy. A glossary further describes the ethnic dishes.
