Caught in the middle of his family’s African and American food fight, Sam gets a little help from his grumbling stomach—and readers of this seriously funny book by Shannon Gibney get a peek at cultures colliding in a family kitchen that work out in a very delicious way. Charly Palmer’s vibrant illustrations make this gentle lesson in getting along a visual feast as well.
"From Shannon Gibney and Charly Palmer comes a wonderful story filled with our childhood memories and illustrated with astonishing colors. I loved this book because it brought back my own food experiences with my grandmother. A fantastic and worthy addition to any collection!" —Siman Nuurali, author of the Sadiq Series
"This is a perfect read aloud for elementary students and an excellent way to introduce acceptance and diversity into classroom discussions."—Youth Services Book Review
