ABOUT THE BOOK
"This children's book promotes inclusivity and compassion by celebrating what makes us all unique and embracing family heritage and traditions." - FORBES
Jax loves the food his family cooks. But when his grandmother packs his favorite Chinese dishes for his first day of school, Jax discovers his lunch looks very different from what the rest of his classmates are eating. Embarrassed to eat his food, he finds himself sitting alone. When Meena sits next to him, the two strike an unexpected friendship over their lunches, sharing a mutual joy of time spent in the kitchen, a coincidental similarity between their respective Chinese and Indian lunches, and the delicious meals they eat with their families.
This uplifting story teaches young readers the importance of cultural identity, curiosity and inclusion. What's That? is a heartwarming story about the foods that make up who we are and how the meals we eat can bring us together.
