Ruby and her fam­i­ly observe hol­i­days that hon­or their Chi­nese and Jew­ish her­itages. With her lov­ing grand­par­ents, Ruby cel­e­brates the Chi­nese Mid-Autumn Fes­ti­val and the Jew­ish hol­i­day of Sukkot. She shops for and pre­pares spe­cial foods with her Nainai. She also builds and dec­o­rates a sukkah with her Zayde, and they pur­chase an etrog and lulav. They all enjoy the spec­tac­u­lar col­ors, tex­tures, and scents of their prepa­ra­tions. But Ruby feels some­thing is lack­ing. She then makes a suc­cess­ful effort to blend these two mean­ing­ful hol­i­days togeth­er: she makes tra­di­tion­al Chi­nese moon­cakes that are dec­o­rat­ed with Jew­ish stars. She feels the two sides of her iden­ti­ty merge into one sat­is­fy­ing whole.

This beau­ti­ful­ly illus­trat­ed sto­ry is writ­ten by coau­thors from dif­fer­ent back­grounds. At the end of the book, they dis­cuss their hol­i­days and her­itages from their own unique perspectives.
