Maya from Bolivia can’t wait to have some of her mother’s pisara (a
grain cooked with honey), while Sofia in Mozambique enjoys fish stew.
Bogdan and his family eat their borsch (beetroot soup) in Ukraine, and
Ela from India picks out an ice cream in the village. A turn of the page
in this multi-cultural storybook gives a taste of what life is like in
other countries through rich illustrations and fun flaps. Young readers
meet children from India, Bolivia, Mozambique, Ukraine, El Salvador,
Lebanon, and Vietnam, and get a glimpse of what meal time is like for
them. A world map in the back offers a chance to locate all the
countries explored in the book, as well as a list of discussion
questions, meant to foster a feeling of community with people
everywhere, different and alike. Softcover, 16 pages. Ages 4-8.
