BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Joseph, who was a refugee from South Sudan, remembers the camp and everyone eating together. Now it's just Joseph and his mother, and it doesn't feel like enough people are there. He's hoping his Abubu will be able to make the journey too, or maybe his cousins and aunts and uncles, but so far, they can't find time. He invites his teacher and his neighbors . . . won't anyone come for dinner?
I loved his good memories of the camp, and the connections with the food his mother makes. I loved that his friend made positive comments about his home lunch, and how Joseph is so positive and sweet. Gosh, I wish he'd invite me to dinner!
