What happens when a child's favorite packed lunch is met with disparaging comments at the school lunch table?In a classroom of sandwiches, four kindergarteners stand out with their culturally authentic packed lunches. But before they can dig in and enjoy their favorite foods, their lunches are spoiled by mean whispers, scrunched noses, and jeering taunts from their sandwich-eating classmates.Follow each of the four students as they learn to cope with their first "lunch box moments" in this picture book that encourages empathy, embodies the importance of family, and celebrates individuality. Inspired by the "lunch box moments" of four acclaimed chefs, Ray Garcia, Preeti Mistry, Mina Park, and Niki Russ Federman, this heartwarming story reminds us all that one's food is a reflection of self and a celebration of culture.

"For affectionate families everywhere comes this engaging reference volume featuring 25 kinds of hugs. From the more traditional to the all-out risky, this collection runs a creatively wide gamut of ways to embrace...and by doing so, brings comfort to the forefront of conversation. Every hug was field-tested by the author and his sons, and titled for practicality and kicks. The Quentin Blake-esque drawings are rendered with graceful accuracy and joy by artist Elizabeth Lilly. The pure physicality of being a child - or being a parent - is documented with wit and style for both to enjoy"--

Celebrate the beauty and strength of solitude with this poetic observation of the animal kingdom and those who move through it on their very own.That silvery cloud swimming in the sea is actually a school of fish. That splash and crash is a pod of whales, sounding.Behold, a fever of stingrays gliding by.But what do you call a group of octopuses?A tangle of octopuses? A chandelier of octopuses? A multipus of octopuses? No, octopuses prefer to be alone. The octopus is a solitary animal.This lyrical, nonfiction text honors animals who live in solitude, in contrast to others who live in groups. Against a backdrop of the specific names of various animal tribes (a parade of elephants, a tower of giraffes, a dazzle of zebras), Stein shines a spotlight on those animals who go through life on their own. With nature at his back, Stein invites readers to draw strength and comfort from the behaviors of fellow mammals. Perfect for children who tend to be alone, and their parents…as well as all children, who will be encouraged to respect the "natural" choices of their peers.
