Overview
What happens when a child’s favorite packed lunch is met with disparaging comments at the school lunch table?
En un salón lleno de sándwiches, cuatro estudiantes se destacan con sus comidas caseras que reflejan las culturas de las que forman parte. Antes de que puedan disfrutar de sus comidas favoritas, estas se arruinan al enfrentar narices arrugadas y reacciones de asco por parte de los compañeros y las compañeras que solo comen sándwiches.
A través de este libro ilustrado que promueve la empatía e inspira a que todos los lectores defiendan su comida, acompaña a cada uno de los cuatro estudiantes mientras aprenden a lidiar con sus primeros “momentos de lonchera”. Tomando inspiración de los “momentos de lonchera” de cuatro aclamados chefs, Ray García, Preeti Mistry, Mina Park y Russ Federman, este relato conmovedor nos recuerda que la comida es un reflejo de la identidad de quien la come y una celebración auténtica de la cultura.
