Yellow Happy Face Cookies

Yellow Happy Face Cookies includes short stories containing the elements of fiction of plot, point of view, character, and setting. The stories are about immigration, family, and assimilation to the American culture. Students can look for ways in which they relate to the situations that are described in the stories and if they can find any parallels between the circumstances that they read about that are anything like the circumstances they have observed or seen. If these stories are completely different from what they have known in the past, they can think about what they learn from them and if it gives them any sense of direction about any particular way to view others and the surrounding world. Remember that when reading fiction, one is reading to be entertained.
