What happens when a child's favorite packed lunch is met with
disparaging comments at the school lunch table?
In a classroom of sandwiches, four students stand out with their
homemade, culturally-specific lunches. But before they can dig in and
enjoy their favorite foods, their lunches are spoiled by scrunched noses
and disgusted reactions from their sandwich-eating classmates.
Follow each of the four students as they learn to cope with their first
"lunch box moments" in this picture book that encourages empathy and
inspires all readers to stand up for their food! Inspired by the "lunch
box moments" of four acclaimed chefs, Ray Garcia, Preeti Mistry, Mina
Park, and Niki Russ Federman, this heartwarming story reminds us all
that one's food is a reflection of self and an authentic celebration of
culture.
