BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) – ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Rishi’s grandmother, Paati, is coming to visit all the way from India. To welcome her, Rishi grabs the special spice box that is a family heirloom, passed from mother to son. It’s full of spices, yes, but also so much more. What else will Rishi find inside?
This beautifully illustrated picture book about a family and their box of spices almost made me cry! The eponymous spice box serves as a collection box of memories and stories from generations. It’s a great way to show how food, language, and culture gets passed down from one generation to the next, and how important those cultural elements are.
