A delicious tale of friendship and foods from around the world!
Neeva and Nimi love the Indian food they eat at home, but how could they bring idlis to school for lunch when all of their friends always bring sandwiches? But the sisters are in for a big surprise. When their class goes on a field trip, they find themselves at a food festival where they learn their friends eat much more than sandwiches at home, inspiring them to proudly claim their cultural foods and start a new tradition with their friends.
In this multicultural picture book, readers will explore foods from around the world and be inspired to celebrate the unique food traditions of their home.
