Su-Jin is worried that her Grandmother will be sad, missing her Korean traditions as Halmoni (grandmother) has just moved to America. Su-Jin and her friends ask Halmoni to teach them about Chuseok, Korean Thanksgiving, so that their families can all celebrate it with her.
I love this sweet look at a Korean celebration - informative without being strictly non-fiction. Great for a variety of classroom situations. Even in older classes, I would share this with a Geography teacher to support a unit on fall celebrations around the world.
