Would you like to eat termites and giant land snails? Perhaps you might enjoy some durian fruit that tastes like a mixture of custard, cheese, and onion? Or maybe you would enjoy a cup of warming tea made from water, tea leaves, salt, and yak milk butter? In this beautiful photographic book, young readers will meet children from around the world and discover the many different foods they eat. Readers will learn all about colorful bento boxes that Japanese moms make for their children's school lunches. They will join an Indian family to make homemade sweets for Diwali and join Muslim families for a special iftar meal during Ramadan. And, in a sensitively handled section, they will learn that many children around the world have nothing to eat. The book includes a world map that pinpoints where every story in the book comes from. Supported with stunning, detailed photos, this book is an engaging nonfiction read and a fascinating exploration of different foods, traditions, and customs.
