(3) K-3 Illustrated by Michelle Pereira. When the narrator eats dinner at her friends’ houses, she uses cutlery and chopsticks; at home, she eats with her hands. When her family invites her friends over for sadya (a traditional South Indian meal), she worries that they’ll laugh at her family’s customs. But her friends have a wonderful time. With lively digital art in green, orange, purple, and brown, this book celebrates cultural and culinary differences and the joy of sharing a meal together.
