Carrie’s search for her tardy brother leads her from one neighbor’s home to another, where dinner offers a glimpse of each family’s food traditions. Rice links the households, while the dishes show how a shared ingredient can appear in different cultural contexts. Simple recipes paired with the families’ meals extend the book beyond its neighborhood visit and invite readers to explore the foods introduced in the story.

Book overview

"Nifty neighborhood. Nifty book"--The New York Times Book Review

In this multicultural picture book, Carrie goes from one neighbor's house to the next looking for her brother, who is late for dinner. She discovers that although each family is from a different country, everyone makes a rice dish at dinnertime. Readers will enjoy trying the simple recipes that correspond to each family's unique rice dish.
