BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
It is Multicultural Day at school and the assignment is to create and bring something to show the class about your heritage. A young girl ponders what exactly she should make. Her dad's culture is Indian. She could bake tikka masala, but that would be hard to bring to school. Her mom has German heritage, so she could also bake schnitzel. However, at school, she likes to eat pizza and cheeseburgers. It's hard to decide on just one. Can her culture be all three?
Alikhan and Sofi help young readers understand that their culture doesn't need to fit in just one category. It teaches a great message that you can be a little bit of everything, it's up to you. This is an issue that a lot young students face in schools. The young girl's parents are from India and Germany.
