With humor and warmth, this children's picture book raises awareness
about poverty and hunger. Best friends Sofia and Maddi live in the same
neighborhood, go to the same school, and play in the same park, but
while Sofia's fridge at home is full of nutritious food, the fridge at
Maddi's house is empty. Sofia learns that Maddi's family doesn't have
enough money to fill their fridge and promises Maddi she'll keep this
discovery a secret. But because Sofia wants to help her friend, she's
faced with a difficult decision: to keep her promise or tell her parents
about Maddi's empty fridge. Filled with colorful artwork, this storybook
addresses issues of poverty with honesty and sensitivity while
instilling important lessons in friendship, empathy, trust, and helping
others. A call to action section, with six effective ways for children
to help fight hunger and information on anti-hunger groups, is also
included.
