Review

Manuel learns that the students in his class come from other cultural backgrounds through the special stories they tell one another about their families and the food they share. A charming book filled with bright and cheerfully bold illustrations. Countries include Mexico, Italy, India, Norway and Jewish food. Food unites people and this book celebrates that. At the end of the book is a easy-to-make salsa recipe, a glossary and index. Also included is a bibliography of books and websites for further reference. One is a series of books that include clothes, family, home, languages and religion. Recommended.

Overall Book Score: very good
